Country brief

How identity verification works in Serbia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Serbian identity fraud: synthetic-identity attacks on the growing neobank and payment platform market, document forgery on the biometric Lična karta and legacy non-chip card formats, and Balkan cross-border mule networks exploiting Serbia's position as a financial hub between the EU and non-EU Western Balkans. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (2020)
  • Law on Personal Data Protection No. 87/2018
  • Law on Payment Services (2015, amended 2019)
  • Law on Banks (2005, amended 2021)
  • MONEYVAL Mutual Evaluation recommendations
  • FATF 40 Recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Serbia.

These are the supervisors a Serbia verification flow has to answer to. One Didit hosted flow + one audit log covers every one of them — no separate integration per agency.
  • NBS

04 · Registry

Bind every check to one audited session.

  • Serbia does not currently expose a public government consumer API open to third-party integrators — the Ministarstvo unutrašnjih poslova identity registry and the JMBG system do not publish a standalone database-validation endpoint for commercial use.
