How identity verification works in Russia.
- Fraud landscape
- Three pressures shape Russian identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-passport attacks across the consumer-finance market, Internal Passport forgery across the legacy and chip formats, and sanctions-exposure pressure that demands strict OFAC, UK OFSI, EU and UN screening on every onboarding. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
- Compliance frameworks
- Federal Law 115-FZ (PLA/FT)
- Federal Law 161-FZ (National Payment System)
- Federal Law 152-FZ (Personal Data)
- CBR Regulation 499-P (CDD)
- FATF 40 recommendations
- OFAC / OFSI / EU sanctions screening

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.
1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists — plus Russian watchlists:
- Federal Security Service (FSB) — Terrorist Organizations — sanctions designations under Federal Law 115-FZ.
- National Antiterrorism Committee — Unified Federal List — designated terrorist organizations and individuals.
- Rosfinmonitoring — Designated Persons List — Federal Law 115-FZ financial-crime designations.
- Russian Ministry of Defense (Northern Fleet) — PEP Level 2 military officials.
- Moscow City Government — PEP Level 4 regional officials.
- Khabarovsk Krai Government — PEP Level 4 regional officials.
- Russian Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL) — entity enforcement data.
- Prosecutor General — Enforcement watchlist — prosecutorial enforcement designations.
- Federal Tax Service (FNS) — Tax enforcement register — flagged entities and individuals.
- OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, EU and UN consolidated sanctions — critical for cross-border exposure.
- Hits are scored by severity — a Ministry of Defense official surfaces as PEP Level 2, a regional governor as PEP Level 4, sanctions as critical.
- Turn on ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) and Didit re-checks every customer daily, firing a webhook the moment a new hit appears.

Bind every check to one audited session.
- There is no public government database validation API for Russia that Didit currently exposes as a standalone service — the MVD Internal Passport registry and the FNS INN system do not offer a public consumer API open to third-party integrators.
