Country brief

How identity verification works in Vietnam.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Vietnamese identity fraud: deepfake injection against the SBV-mandated eKYC flows on mobile banking and securities apps under Circular 17/2024/TT-NHNN, forgery of legacy CMND (9- and 12-digit) cards still in circulation during the CCCD transition, and mule-account farming against NAPAS-connected wallets. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • AML Law 2022 (Law No. 14/2022/QH15)
  • Personal Data Protection Decree 13/2023/ND-CP
  • SBV Circular 17/2024/TT-NHNN (Electronic KYC)
  • Law on Identification 2023 (Law No. 26/2023/QH15)
  • Securities Law 54/2019/QH14
  • FATF 40 recommendations
Regulators

Who supervises identity verification in Vietnam.

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

    State Bank of Vietnam (Ngân hàng Nhà nước Việt Nam) — central bank and prudential supervisor for banks, payment service providers, e-wallets and intermediary payment services. Issues Circular 17/2024/TT-NHNN on electronic KYC.

  • SSC

    State Securities Commission of Vietnam — securities and capital-markets supervisor. Sets KYC rules for securities companies, fund managers and investment firms under the Securities Law 54/2019/QH14.

  • AMLD

    Anti-Money Laundering Department within the State Bank of Vietnam — Vietnam's Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports under the AML Law 2022 (Law No. 14/2022/QH15).

  • MPS

    Ministry of Public Security (Bộ Công an) — civil-registry authority. Issues the CCCD national identity card via Cục C06 and operates the VNeID digital identity wallet under the 2023 Law on Identification. Enforces Personal Data Protection Decree 13/2023/ND-CP.

  • NAPAS

    National Payment Corporation of Vietnam — interbank payment network operator. Sets technical standards for eKYC flows used by payment intermediaries and e-wallets connected to the NAPAS domestic payment scheme.

Verification flow · One API

Four modules. One verification.

ID, biometric, AML, and a Vietnam 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.

  • CCCD (the current chip card), legacy CMND, VNeID digital wallet, Vietnamese Passport with the chip read on the NFC channel, Driver's Licence, and Residence Card.
  • Returns the full name, 12-digit CCCD number, date of birth, sex, place of origin, and address.

  • VNeID Level 1 · Level 2
  • Vietnamese Passport — NFC chip read
02 · Biometric

Match the face. Prove it's a real person..

Selfie confirmed live and matched against the ID portrait.

  • Duplicate check: 1:N face search across existing users. Free.
  • Active liveness ($0.15) for elevated-risk flows — user turns or blinks.

Stage 02Match the face. Prove it's a real person.
  • Selfie on any phone or laptop camera
  • Mobile-handoff QR when the user starts on desktop
03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

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

  • Ministry of Public Security (Vietnam) — Sanctions — MPS-designated individuals and organisations.
  • National Assembly of Vietnam — Politically Exposed Persons register for National Assembly Deputies and Cabinet Ministers.
  • People's Court of Bình Thuận Province — judicial enforcement targets from provincial court proceedings.
  • Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee — municipal enforcement and debarment watchlist.
  • AMLD (SBV) — Anti-Money Laundering Department — suspicious-transaction references under the AML Law 2022.
  • State Securities Commission enforcement — individuals and entities under SSC regulatory action.
  • Ministry of Finance AML Division — tax-fraud and financial-crime enforcement targets.
  • Interpol Vietnam — National Central Bureau — internationally wanted persons with Vietnamese red notices.

Severity-scored. Ongoing monitoring ($0.07/user/yr) re-checks daily and fires a webhook on new hits.

04 · Registry

Validate inputs against global identity infrastructure.

Vietnam does not currently expose a public consumer-grade identity-registry API to cross-border KYC vendors — the MPS CCCD chip-read and VNeID credential flow are controlled under the 2023 Law on Identification and access is restricted to domestically licensed entities.

  • The hosted flow already covers the SBV Circular 17/2024/TT-NHNN eKYC baseline: CCCD OCR + chip read, VNeID digital-credential capture, Active Liveness, Face Match 1:1, and AML screening against Vietnamese regulatory watchlists.
  • Didit ships Database Validation for 40+ countries; country-specific government-source services for Vietnam are on the roadmap — contact the team if you need a custom SBV-source contract for the Circular 17/2024/TT-NHNN source-verification requirement.
