The Financial Action Task Force has published Guidance on how digital identification technologies can be used to conduct some aspects of customer due diligence for anti-money laundering purposes. The FATF presents a risk-based approach to the use of digital ID software, relying on a set of open source, consensus-driven assurance frameworks and technical standards for digital ID systems. In addition, the FATF sets out a series of recommendations for relevant authorities, regulated entities (meaning financial institutions, virtual asset service providers and designated non-financial businesses and professions) and digital ID services providers. The Guidance is non-binding, however, it clarifies the FATF's standards.
