eIDAS 2.0 — EU Digital Identity Wallet Regulation

Guide to the European Digital Identity Wallet — verifiable credentials, relying parties, and electronic attestations of attributes.

What is eIDAS 2.0?

eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation EU 2024/1183) amends the original eIDAS Regulation to introduce the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. Every EU Member State must offer EUDI Wallets to citizens and residents by 2026. The wallet allows individuals and businesses to securely store and selectively share identity data, electronic attestations of attributes (diplomas, licences, bank details), and qualified electronic signatures — all from a single app under user control. Very large online platforms and entities in regulated sectors (banking, telecom, healthcare) must accept the wallet for identification.

Who It Applies To

EU Member States (must issue wallets), VLOPs (must accept wallets for authentication), financial institutions, telecom providers, health service providers (must accept wallets for strong authentication), trust service providers offering electronic attestations of attributes.

EUDI Wallet Core Features

The European Digital Identity Wallet is a user-controlled application for managing identity credentials across the EU.

  • Store and present electronic identity data linked to notified eID schemes
  • Store and present electronic attestations of attributes (qualifications, licences, permits)
  • Create qualified electronic signatures and seals directly from the wallet
  • Selective disclosure — users choose which attributes to share with relying parties
  • Cross-border use — wallets must be accepted across all EU Member States

Relying Party Obligations

Entities designated as relying parties must accept EUDI Wallets for user identification and authentication.

  • VLOPs (under DSA) must accept wallets for user authentication
  • Financial institutions must accept wallets where strong customer authentication is required
  • Telecom providers, health services, and transport operators must accept wallets
  • Relying parties must not require unnecessary data — only what is needed for the specific service
  • All private-sector entities may voluntarily accept wallets for identity verification

Frequently Asked Questions

What is eIDAS 2.0?

eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation EU 2024/1183) is a major amendment to the original eIDAS Regulation. Its centrepiece is the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, which every EU Member State must offer to citizens and residents by 2026. The wallet allows individuals and businesses to securely store and selectively share identity data, electronic attestations of attributes (such as diplomas, licences, and bank details), and qualified electronic signatures — all from a single app under user control.

Who does eIDAS 2.0 apply to?

eIDAS 2.0 applies to EU Member States who must issue EUDI Wallets, to very large online platforms (as defined by the DSA) and relying parties in regulated sectors (banking, telecom, healthcare, transport) who must accept the wallet for identification. Trust service providers offering electronic attestations of attributes must meet new qualification requirements. All private-sector entities may voluntarily accept the wallet for identity verification.

What are the key deadlines and obligations?

Member States must make EUDI Wallets available by 2026. Very large online platforms must accept wallets for user authentication. Financial institutions, telecom providers, and health service providers must accept wallets where strong customer authentication or identity verification is required by sector-specific EU law. The regulation introduces qualified electronic attestations of attributes, new trust services for electronic ledgers, and strengthened supervisory requirements for qualified trust service providers.
