Country brief

How identity verification works in Slovakia.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Two pressures shape Slovak identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-ID attacks targeting NBS-licensed neobanks and electronic-money issuers onboarding through digital channels, and document forgery pressure across the Schengen zone as Slovak banks onboard Ukrainian and Romanian residents. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Zákon č. 297/2008 Z.z. (Slovak AML Act — AMLD6 transposition)
  • AMLD6 (EU Directive 2018/843)
  • GDPR / Zákon č. 18/2018 Z.z.
  • EU Regulation 2019/1157 (chip ID cards)
  • MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation)
  • DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
Regulators

04 · Registry

Cross-check against Slovak property and public authority registers.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The `svk_residential` check ($1.22 per successful query, ~50% coverage, no consent required) verifies name + address against combined property ownership and public authority registers — first_name, last_name, address in, address, first_name, last_name match scores out. Optional date_of_birth field narrows the lookup.
  • Pair the residential check with the Identity Document Verification module for the full NBS Customer Due Diligence pillar — same POST /v3/database-validation/ call shape, same session audit trail.
