Country brief

How identity verification works in Venezuela.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Venezuelan identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-Cédula attacks on the digital wallets and remittance corridors that serve the diaspora, Cédula document forgery across the V- and E- prefixes, and the cross-border KYC challenge as Venezuelan migrants onboard into Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean and Ecuadorian fintechs. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley Orgánica contra la Delincuencia Organizada y Financiamiento al Terrorismo
  • Resoluciones SUDEBAN (CDD)
  • Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales (in development)
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Venezuela.

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

    Superintendencia de las Instituciones del Sector Bancario — prudential supervisor for banks, payment institutions and EMIs. Sets remote-onboarding rules under Resoluciones SUDEBAN.

  • SUNAVAL

    Superintendencia Nacional de Valores — securities and crypto-asset supervisor. Registers broker-dealers and securities-market intermediaries.

  • UNIF

    Unidad Nacional de Inteligencia Financiera — Venezuela's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Reportes de Actividades Sospechosas under the Ley Orgánica contra la Delincuencia Organizada y Financiamiento al Terrorismo.

  • SAIME

    Servicio Administrativo de Identificación, Migración y Extranjería — civil-registry authority. Issues every Cédula de Identidad and serves as the authoritative-source database for identity verification.

  • CNE

    Consejo Nacional Electoral — electoral authority. Holds the underlying voter registry that feeds SAIME for civic-status data.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Venezuela database cross-check — composed on one workflow, billed per success, returned in one report.
01 · ID

Capture and read the ID.

Captured on any phone — auto-classified, OCR-parsed, and template-verified.

  • Cédula de Identidad (V- for citizens, E- for foreign residents), Pasaporte (with the chip read on e-Passports), and driving licence.
  • Returns the name, Cédula number, date of birth, sex, and expiry.

03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists — plus Venezuelan watchlists:

  • Vendata — Sanctions and Sanctioned Database — comprehensive Venezuelan sanctions registry.
  • National Assembly of Venezuela PEP register — Diputados and senior legislative officials (PEP Level 1).
  • Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV) PEP register — senior party officials politically exposed at national level.
  • Ministry of People's Power for Tourism PEP register — ministerial-level politically exposed persons.
  • Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) PEP register — opposition coalition senior leadership.
  • Tribunal of Supreme Court of Justice Warnings — judicial enforcement and sanctions alerts.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against SAIME.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The Cédula check (ven_cedula, $0.20) is the authoritative-source lookup — hits SAIME for identification number, full name, date of birth, gender and document type. Handles both V- (citizens) and E- (foreign residents) prefixes. No consent required.
  • Pay-per-success — only billed when SAIME returns a conclusive result.
