eIDAS 2.0 · European Digital Identity
The EUDI Wallet, explained for the people who have to build for it.
Every EU member state must offer a European Digital Identity Wallet to its citizens and residents by 24 December 2026. From late 2027 (expected), large platforms and regulated sectors will have to accept it. This is an independent, no-nonsense reference to what that means and how to prepare.
The two dates that matter
20 May 2024
eIDAS 2.0 in force
Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amending eIDAS entered into force, creating the legal basis for the European Digital Identity Wallet.
24 December 2026
Wallets must be available
Each member state must offer at least one EUDI Wallet to its citizens and residents (24 months after the implementing acts).
December 2027
Acceptance obligation expected to begin
From late 2027, very large online platforms and regulated sectors (e.g. banking, telecoms) are expected to have to accept the EUDI Wallet where strong user authentication is required. The precise commencement depends on the relevant implementing acts and is subject to confirmation.
