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.
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.
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.
