EU Digital identity wallet (eudiw)
Relying Parties Must Be Ready for EUDIW by 2027
You are a Relying Party if your organisation verifies users, handles KYC, or provides regulated digital services, and the EU Digital Identity Wallets (EUDIW) will become part of your identity stack.
eID Easy helps you test, integrate, and register without following every national wallet project alone.

eID Easy EUDIW Playground
Don’t just read about EUDIW. Test it.
Wallet flows are already becoming testable.
The eID Easy EUDIW Playground lets relying parties and developers try wallet-based identity in practice.
You can also use wallet-specific developer documentation to understand setup steps, returned claims, and what each wallet requires.

WHO SHOULD START NOW?
For teams that already verify users
EUDIW matters most for organisations that already need to know who a user is, whether they are eligible, or which trusted attributes they can share.
If your team works with onboarding, KYC, login, age checks, regulated access, or cross-border identity, this is the right time to start testing wallet flows.
- Financial Services and Fintech
- Identity verification (IDV) and KYC platforms
- Telecommunications
- Marketplaces, mobility, and travel
- Health, insurance, and eligibility-based services
How does it work
From Wallet Request to Verified Data
With eID Easy, wallet-based identity can work through a familiar flow: your service starts the request, the user approves it in their wallet, and verified data is returned through eID Easy.
Step 1: Start a wallet request
Your service starts an OIDC redirect flow or creates a QR code wallet session through eID Easy.
Step 3: User approves sharing
The wallet shows what information is being requested, such as identity data, age, or other available claims.
Step 2: User opens their wallet
The user scans the QR code or opens the wallet directly on mobile.
Step 4: You receive verified data
eID Easy returns the verified wallet data so your service can continue onboarding, login, or verification.
Different wallets have different setup steps, which is why we provide wallet-specific developer docs for each sandbox environment.
Faster onboarding
Reduce friction by replacing document uploads and manual checks with trusted digital credentials.
Stronger trust and lower fraud risk
Verified data comes from official sources, not user-uploaded images.
Cross-border access
The same wallet can be used across EU countries, supporting international growth.
User control and data minimisation
Users share only what is required, improving transparency and trust.
Timeline & Key Deadlines
By December 2026:
Each EU Member State must make at least one European Digital Identity Wallet available to users, completing the transition from pilot projects to real-world, regulated wallet usage under the updated eIDAS Regulation (eIDAS 2.0) across the EU.
By December 2027:
Certain regulated organisations, where EU or national law requires identification (fintechs, telcoms, insurance, etc) will be required to accept the European Digital Identity Wallet as a valid method for identity verification and authentication.
This means
→ The wallet must be accepted as an option, not necessarily as the only method
→ Organisations cannot refuse a user who chooses to identify using the wallet
→ Existing onboarding and identification methods can continue alongside EUDIW
In practise, if an organisation is already required to verify identity, the EUDI Wallet becomes one of the methods it must support.
