Uruguay IDV/KYC Challenges
Several DNI Generations and Resident Foreigners' Cards
KYC in Uruguay meets the chipped DNI issued since 2015, a 2022 version with stronger chip security and the June 2026 redesign, plus DNIs issued to resident foreigners. Shufti's zero-shot document intelligence checks each version's security features, including designs it has never seen.
UN List Matches Must Be Frozen Within Hours
Law 19.749 requires obligated subjects to check UN Security Council lists permanently and freeze matching funds without delay, which Decree 136/019 defines as within hours. Shufti rescreens every customer as lists change and flags new matches, registry updates and ownership changes as they appear.
Beneficial Owners Start at 15% of Capital
Article 15 of Law 19.574 treats anyone holding 15% or more of capital or voting rights as a beneficial owner, well below the 25% many group policies assume. Shufti maps ownership through every layer to that threshold and screens each person found.
Law 20.469 Brings New Firms Into Scope
Law 20.469 of March 2026 added non-financial trustees and administration, accounting and data-processing providers as obligated subjects, and extended lawyers' and notaries' duties to deals settled in virtual assets. Shufti gives newly covered firms working KYC, KYB and screening without building them from scratch.
Documents and Languages
Individual Documents Shufti Verifies in Uruguay
Shufti verifies 15 Uruguayan identity and address documents plus passports and ID cards from other countries. The cards below cover the core documents Uruguayan onboarding relies on, with the full list on the supported documents page.
View All Supported DocumentsID Uruguay and the DNI's Digital Credentials
ID Uruguay, the state login AGESIC runs, reaches its advanced level through the chipped DNI, Abitab ID Digital or Antel TuID, and the DNI's certificate signs with handwritten validity under Law 18.600. Shufti reads that same chip over NFC, giving private firms chip-backed assurance.
Documento Nacional de Identidad (Cédula de Identidad)
DNIC, part of the Ministerio del Interior, issues the DNI from 45 days of age with a contact chip for signing and a contactless ICAO chip. Shufti reads the contactless chip, matches a live selfie with liveness and confirms the holder's details against authoritative records.
Residence and Work Permits
The Dirección Nacional de Migración grants residence under Law 18.250, including Mercosur residence, before DNIC issues the resident a DNI. Shufti verifies residence permits, temporary residence cards and work permits, reads each expiry date and matches the holder's face.
Uruguayan Passport
DNIC has issued ICAO-compliant electronic passports since October 2015. Shufti reads the chip by NFC and checks every passport across nine forensic detection layers, from MRZ checksum validation to hologram analysis, so a cloned or altered passport fails before onboarding.
Foreign Passports and National ID Cards
Shufti actively processes 10,000+ ID document types from 240+ countries and territories, and its zero-shot AI learns new document formats in minutes. Non-resident investors, regional visitors and new arrivals rely on them before they hold a Uruguayan DNI.
Uruguayan Driving Licence
Each department's traffic authority issues the licence under Article 26 of Law 18.191, with the same exams nationwide and one licence recognised in every department. Shufti checks authenticity, expiry and the photo against a live selfie, which helps delivery and ride-hailing platforms onboard drivers.
Proof of Address
Bills from UTE, OSE and ANTEL, bank statements and the police-issued constancia de domicilio are verified in the same step as the ID, with the extracted address matched against the one the customer entered at sign-up.
Entity Identity
Registro Nacional de Comercio Certificate
Shufti reads certificates from the Registro Nacional de Comercio, kept by the Dirección General de Registros, and confirms the company's existence, representatives and registered acts with a live registry call at every check.
Estatutos, Contrato Social and SAS Instruments
AI-OCR reads ownership, capital and signing authority from an SA's estatutos, an SRL's contrato social or the instrument that formed a SAS, and flags GAN-generated or edited pages.
Business Address Proof
Utility bills and leases are cross-checked against the address on the company's registry record and its RUT registration.
Tax Identity
Registro Único Tributario (RUT)
The Dirección General Impositiva assigns a 12-digit RUT to every taxpayer, and numbers issued since October 2024 begin with 22. Shufti extracts the number, checks its format and matches the legal name to the company's registry record.
Certificado Único de la DGI
Shufti reads the DGI's Certificado Único, which shows a company is up to date with its tax obligations, and checks that it is still within its annual validity.
Foreign Tax Registrations and FATCA/CRS Self-Certification
Foreign-owned entities and overseas parents are verified with their home-country tax registrations, and FATCA and CRS self-certifications are captured in the same case file.
Ownership and Control
BCU Beneficial Ownership Register Filings
Law 19.484 requires companies, trusts and funds to declare their beneficial owners to the BCU by sworn statement and to report changes within 45 days, or 90 where non-residents are involved. Shufti extracts everyone holding 15% or more and screens each person.
Shareholder Register and Ownership Chart
Shufti reads the share register and the ownership chart the customer supplies, maps ownership through holding companies, trusts and foreign parents, and screens every person and entity in the chain.
Directors, Administrators and Authorised Signatories
Each person is identity-verified and screened, and Shufti alerts the case owner when the company's registry record shows a new director or representative.
Languages We Cover
Spanish, English and Foreign Document Parsing
Uruguayan DNIs, passports and company records are in Spanish, while investors and new residents bring documents in other scripts. Shufti's OCR reads 150+ languages and scripts at 99.7% accuracy and averages 93% against Google Vision's 78.4% across its published benchmark. Zero-shot document intelligence reads foreign document layouts it has never seen on first sight, without waiting for a template.
Uruguayan Name Matching
Native phonetic models for 80+ languages match given names with paternal and maternal surnames, accented and unaccented spellings such as Rodríguez and Rodriguez, and compound surnames such as de León in sanctions and PEP screening.
Cross-Document Consistency Checks
Names, dates of birth and DNI numbers are reconciled across the DNI, passport, licence, RUT and beneficial ownership filings, so one customer never splits into mismatched records.

Regulatory Update
Every Verification Route Uruguayan Firms Rely On, in One Platform
Digital identity verification in Uruguay rests on Article 15 of Law 19.574, which requires identity to be verified with reliable data from independent sources, while Article 19 treats operations without the parties' physical presence as higher risk. Shufti supports the DNI chip and database checks Uruguayan firms rely on, plus document and video routes for non-residents and customers without a DNI.
Docless Database (eIDV)
LiveShufti matches the customer's full name, DNI number and date of birth against authoritative Uruguayan data sources with no document upload, returns a decision in seconds and stores the result in the case file.
NFC Chip Verification
LiveShufti reads the contactless chip in the DNI, the same card that unlocks ID Uruguay's advanced level, plus the Uruguayan ePassport and most foreign biometric passports, the high-assurance answer to the remote risk Article 19 describes.
Document and Face Biometric
LiveShufti authenticates the DNI, passport or residence permit and matches a live selfie with iBeta Level 3 liveness, the route most non-residents and recently arrived residents take to open an account.
Video Identification
LiveAgent-led video sessions combine document checks with face matching and record the whole session, with consent, as evidence for higher-risk accounts, corporate signatories and customers who want help onboarding.
Fraud Prevention Across the Uruguayan Customer Journey
Reduce fraud losses and protect customer trust across onboarding, account access, and payments. Shufti connects identity, behavioral, device, network, and transaction intelligence to help Uruguayan businesses act on risk while keeping legitimate customers moving.
Governance & Controls
Audit-Ready Decisions, Lower Operational Drag
Fewer Avoidable Re-submissions
Capture guidance for every DNI generation, residence permits and Spanish-language documents catches glare, cropping and blur before submission, so customers rarely retake a photo.
Cleaner Audit Trails
Shufti's case management records sources, results, timestamps, evidence, analyst notes and decisions, packaged as report-ready bundles for unusual transaction reports to the UIAF.
One Workflow, One Back Office
Unify KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring in one case file. Perpetual KYC/KYB tracks ownership, director and transaction changes, managing the full compliance lifecycle.
ID Uruguay and DNI-First Flow Design
Residents verify first through the DNI chip behind ID Uruguay or a database check, and non-residents move to passport and selfie checks in one flow.
Shufti's IDV/KYC Solutions for Uruguay
KYC Solutions
Online KYC in Uruguay serves DNI holders, resident foreigners and non-residents, some with an NFC phone and a chipped card and some without. One Shufti flow routes each by risk, so nobody faces checks they don't need.

Face Verification
Remote onboarding depends on proving that the person holding a DNI is its owner, the risk Article 19 flags for operations without physical presence. Shufti's face matching delivers a 99.5% first-try pass rate, and DHS RIVR 2025 testing measured a false match rate below 0.001.
.
Age Verification
Licensed gaming, alcohol sales and many online services must keep minors out. Shufti estimates age from a selfie in under five seconds, blocks 99.8% of underage attempts and falls back to a DNI check when the estimate is close.
.
Bank Account Verification
Payouts and direct debits fail when an account number or holder name is wrong. Shufti validates Uruguayan bank account details and matches the holder's name in real time before the first transfer, so funds reach the right customer.
.
Address Verification
Address documents vary by issuer across Uruguay's 19 departments. Shufti's layout-aware extraction and fuzzy matching verify them at a 99.3% pass rate, and docless checks confirm an address in under three seconds without an upload.
.
Document Verification
Uruguayan onboarding draws on several DNI generations, passports, residence permits and work permits. Shufti verifies each within seconds, reading Spanish fields and testing every document for tampering, screenshots and synthetic edits.
.
Identity Verification
Separate tools for documents, selfies, database checks and addresses split one customer across several records. Shufti runs document, biometric, NFC, address and docless checks in one API session and returns one decision with its evidence.
.KYB Solutions
Business verification in Uruguay means reconciling Registro Nacional de Comercio records, the DGI's RUT and the beneficial owners declared to the BCU, often through holding companies and trusts. Shufti calls the registries live and identifies beneficial owners at the 15% threshold set by Law 19.574.
Explore More
Business Verification
Corporate onboarding in Uruguay means confirming the company's registry record, RUT, representatives and everyone who owns or controls 15% or more. Shufti's live registry call confirms the company record, and owners are checked against the share register and the BCU declaration the company provides.
.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Non-residents, legal persons, trusts, PEPs and remote operations all call for the enhanced due diligence Article 19 of Law 19.574 requires. Shufti's branching questionnaires, configurable risk scoring and verification links for beneficial owners collect the evidence and record every answer.
.AML Screening
A customer who is clean at onboarding can land on a list next week, so AML screening in Uruguay cannot stop at sign-up. Shufti's perpetual KYC rescreens every customer against 4,000+ watchlists, including the UN Security Council lists Law 19.749 requires firms to check permanently, refreshed every 15 minutes, with every hit in one case file.

Business AML Screening
A company's risk often sits with its owners and directors. Shufti screens entities, beneficial owners and representatives against UN Security Council lists, SENACLAFT's national PEP list, global sanctions and 50,000+ adverse media sources, and perpetual KYB rescreens the whole portfolio.
.
Transaction Monitoring
Unusual transactions, including attempted ones, must reach the UIAF as soon as they are classified as such. Shufti's library of 500+ pre-built rules covers structuring, smurfing and mule activity, with 60% fewer false positives and report-ready case bundles for the UIAF.
.
Travel Rule
Law 20.345 of 2024 placed virtual asset service providers under BCU supervision, bringing them inside Uruguay's AML regime. Shufti's single integration connects to major Travel Rule networks, exchanges IVMS101 data and verifies ownership of unhosted wallets before funds move.
.
AI Compliance Co-Pilot
One common name can return 140+ screening hits. Shufti's AI Compliance Co-Pilot reviews every hit and gives a confidence score with a written reason, so analysts clear obvious false positives quickly while your compliance officer keeps the final call.
.Built To Fit Uruguay's Compliance Landscape
BCU AML regulations apply to every entity the Superintendencia de Servicios Financieros supervises, SENACLAFT oversees the non-financial sector, and Law 19.574 sets the duties both enforce. Shufti maps its KYC, KYB, AML screening and transaction monitoring controls to every regime below, so one platform covers each licence your group holds.
Ley Integral contra el Lavado de Activos (Law 19.574)
Enacted in December 2017, the law replaced most of Law 17.835. Article 15 sets due diligence including continuous monitoring and the 15% beneficial ownership threshold, Article 19 sets enhanced measures and Article 21 sets five-year record keeping. Law 20.469 of March 2026 rewrote thirty of its articles.
Banco Central del Uruguay (BCU)
Through its Superintendencia de Servicios Financieros, the BCU regulates banks, exchange, transfer and payment providers, insurers, securities firms, fund managers and virtual asset service providers under Article 37 of Law 16.696. Every entity it supervises is an obligated subject under Article 12 of Law 19.574.
Unidad de Información y Análisis Financiero (UIAF)
The UIAF is Uruguay's financial intelligence unit, set within the Superintendencia de Servicios Financieros by Article 10 of Law 18.401. Obligated subjects report unusual transactions to it immediately, including attempted ones, and Article 24 of Law 19.574 lets it block suspect operations for up to five business days.
Secretaría Nacional para la Lucha contra el Lavado de Activos y el Financiamiento del Terrorismo (SENACLAFT)
SENACLAFT reports to the Presidency and supervises the non-financial obligated subjects in Article 13 of Law 19.574, under Decree 379/018. It registers those firms, publishes the national PEP list and prepared the 2023 national risk assessment behind the 2025-2030 strategy approved by Decree 155/025.
Virtual Assets Law (Law 20.345)
Promulgated in September 2024, Law 20.345 added virtual asset service providers to the entities the BCU regulates through the Superintendencia de Servicios Financieros. Providers that only buy and sell virtual assets are supervised for AML purposes alone, and every provider falls under Article 12 of Law 19.574.
Beneficial Ownership Register (Law 19.484)
Article 22 applies the same 15% threshold to the register. Covered entities declare their owners to the BCU by sworn statement, certified by a notary under Decree 166/017, and Article 30 requires changes within 45 days, or 90 days for non-resident owners. The Auditoría Interna de la Nación enforces compliance.
Targeted Financial Sanctions Law (Law 19.749)
Article 3 requires obligated subjects to check UN Security Council terrorism and proliferation lists permanently and freeze matches without delay, which Decree 136/019 defines as within hours. Firms notify the UIAF, a criminal court confirms the freeze within 72 hours and updated lists appear on BCU and SENACLAFT websites.
Dirección Nacional de Identificación Civil (DNIC)
DNIC, part of the Ministerio del Interior, issues the Documento Nacional de Identidad under Decree-Law 14.762 as well as electronic passports. Its chipped DNI, issued since 2015, carries an advanced electronic signature certificate, and Article 6 of Law 18.600 gives that signature the same validity as a handwritten one.
Unidad de Certificación Electrónica (UCE)
The UCE accredits the trust service providers behind Uruguay's digital identity under Law 18.600, currently the national postal service, Abitab, the Ministerio del Interior and Antel. Their credentials reach the advanced level of ID Uruguay, the login AGESIC runs for people using online public services.
GAFILAT Mutual Evaluation of Uruguay
Uruguay is a member of GAFILAT, the FATF-style regional body for Latin America. Its fourth-round mutual evaluation, published in 2020, rated all eleven of its effectiveness outcomes as moderate, and Uruguay was not on the FATF list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring published in June 2026.
Uruguay Data Residency and Deployment
Article 23 of Law 18.331 bars transfers to countries without adequate protection unless an exception or authorised safeguard applies. Shufti runs on-premises inside your own infrastructure in Uruguay, including air-gapped deployments, or as SaaS or private cloud, with hosting locations and transfer safeguards fixed in your agreement.
Law 18.331 on Personal Data Protection
The URCDP enforces Law 18.331, which requires every private database to be registered, and Article 4 of Decree 64/020 requires breaches to reach the URCDP within 72 hours. Shufti protects identity and biometric data with encryption, role-based access and configurable retention.
Biometric Data Under Article 18-BIS
Law 19.924 added a definition of biometric data to Law 18.331 and Article 18-BIS, which allows its processing with the person's informed consent after a data protection impact assessment. Shufti uses only the facial data each check needs, records consent with the check and supports your assessment.
Retention Controls
Retention is configurable by client and licence, covering the five-year minimum in Article 21 of Law 19.574 and up to ten years where regulation requires. Statutory minimums are not automatic deletion dates, and legal holds keep records in place when the UIAF or a court asks.
Encryption and Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access and audit logging throughout. ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports support vendor assessments, including the outsourcing reviews banks and other BCU-supervised firms run before handing a regulated process to a provider.
Automated Decisions and Biometric Data
Article 16 of Law 18.331 lets people challenge decisions based solely on automated assessment and ask for the criteria and program used. Shufti returns verification results and supporting reasons through the API and back office, so support teams can explain outcomes and escalate disputed results.
Scope of Our Role
Law 18.331 defines an encargado del tratamiento as the party that processes personal data on behalf of the responsable. Shufti processes data as that encargado for your firm, which remains the responsable, and its privacy notice identifies any activities where Shufti acts independently.

Open Accounts Remotely Under BCU Rules
Banks are obligated subjects under Article 12 of Law 19.574, and Article 19 requires enhanced measures for non-residents and operations without physical presence. Shufti combines DNI chip, database and passport checks in one flow, adds selfie liveness for remote customers and keeps every decision ready for BCU examination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shufti support ID Uruguay, and what happens when customers cannot use it?
Yes, through the chipped DNI behind ID Uruguay's advanced level, which Shufti reads by NFC. Customers without an NFC phone or chipped card verify in the same flow through a database check on name, DNI number and date of birth, or a document and selfie.
Is scanning a DNI enough, or should verification include its chip?
A scan shows only what is printed, while the DNI's contactless chip holds the holder's data and photo in signed form that is far harder to forge. Shufti reads the chip, compares it with the card, runs forensic checks and matches a live selfie.
Can Shufti verify foreign documents or identity formats it has not encountered before?
Yes. Shufti's zero-shot AI adapts to unfamiliar layouts without a template, so a new resident's national ID or a recently redesigned passport is checked for authenticity and tampering like any known format. The DNI redesign DNIC presented in 2026 is handled the same way.
How does Shufti OCR compare with Google OCR for Spanish-language identity documents?
Shufti's OCR reads Spanish fields at 99.7% accuracy, keeps accents and ñ intact and separates paternal and maternal surnames. Across the languages in its published benchmark, it averages 93% accuracy against Google Vision's 78.4%, which matters for documents foreign investors and new residents bring.
How does Shufti verify ownership when a Uruguayan company has several corporate layers?
Shufti pulls registry records for each company in the chain, maps shareholdings through holding entities and trusts, and identifies owners at the 15% threshold in Article 15 of Law 19.574. It then compares the result with the beneficial owners the customer declared to the BCU.
Does Shufti's ongoing monitoring cover more than sanctions screening?
Yes. Article 15 of Law 19.574 requires continuous monitoring of each business relationship, not only periodic list checks. Shufti monitors transactions against each customer's baseline, rescreens customers and beneficial owners, and alerts you when company, director or ownership records change.
How does Shufti keep screening current and handle Uruguayan name variations?
Watchlists, including the UN Security Council lists Law 19.749 requires firms to check permanently, update within 15 minutes of a change at source. Phonetic matching handles two surnames, accents and compound names such as de los Santos, so spelling differences never hide a match.
Can we choose Uruguayan hosting or run verification inside our own infrastructure?
Yes. Run Shufti on-premises in your own data centre in Uruguay, air-gapped if required, or use SaaS or private cloud. Your agreement names where data is processed and the safeguards Article 23 of Law 18.331 expects for any transfer abroad.
What controls help us protect identity and biometric data?
Shufti encrypts data in transit and at rest, applies role-based access and logs every access. Biometric data is processed with consent, after the impact assessment Article 18-BIS of Law 18.331 requires, limited to what verification needs and deleted on your schedule.
Can we configure different retention periods for different Uruguayan licences?
Yes. Retention is set per client, licence and record type, so AML records run at least five years after the relationship ends under Article 21 of Law 19.574, or longer where regulation requires. Legal holds pause deletion when the UIAF or a court requests records.
What does Shufti provide when our compliance team needs to prepare a UIAF report?
Shufti's case file holds the customer's verified identity, screening results, transaction history, alerts and analyst notes in one place. Your compliance officer exports a report-ready bundle and reports the unusual or suspicious operation to the UIAF immediately, as the law requires.
Can we add verification checks without rebuilding our onboarding journey?
Yes. The AI Journey Builder adds or reorders checks such as NFC, database or address verification without code changes. Routing rules send customers to different checks by product, risk tier or residency, so a non-resident moves straight to passport verification.
How does Shufti make verification queries easier for our customer support team?
Every decision is shown in the back office with the reason, the failed check and the captured evidence. Support teams can tell a customer exactly what to fix, such as a glare-covered DNI or an expired residence permit, and escalate disputed results to compliance.
