What is the EUDI Wallet?

The European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) is a secure mobile app, approved by your country. It stores your documents digitally and you decide who sees which data.

How it Works

In 3 simple steps.

Izdaja → denarnica → preverjanje
  1. 01

    Receive a document

    An official issuer, such as a government body or a bank, or a private provider securely issues a document to your wallet.

  2. 02

    Stored on your phone

    The document is stored on your phone, protected by a passcode or biometrics.

  3. 03

    Show it when needed

    When you identify yourself or share a document, you only share the necessary data (selective disclosure), and the recipient can verify it instantly.

How it fits your current eID

Many EU countries already offer a national digital ID. The European Digital Identity Wallet builds on that – one wallet for the whole EU.

Your national eID proves who you are within your own country. The EUDI Wallet extends that approach across the EU: alongside your ID card it will hold many other documents that you can use securely, even across borders. It stays voluntary, and your physical documents remain valid.

Today: your national eID

A country-specific way to prove your identity online and in person.

Tomorrow: the EUDI Wallet

One wallet that works across every EU country and holds many credential types.

eIDAS 2.0 Regulation

eIDAS 2.0 is the EU regulation that introduces the EUDI Wallet and requires every member state to offer it to its residents.

eIDAS 2.0 succeeds the 2014 eIDAS 1.0 regulation, which introduced digital certificates but had some shortcomings.

Login with EUDI Wallet

Sign in to an online service without a password – approve the request in the wallet and you are through.

Rent a Car

Present your driving licence (mDL) and identity from your phone at the rental desk, with no physical card involved.

Buy an eSIM

The operator verifies your identity straight from the wallet when you buy an eSIM, so there is no trip to a store.

Open a Bank Account

The bank checks your identity remotely from the wallet, so you open the account from home without mailing document scans.

Issue Person Identification Data (PID)

How a member state issues Person Identification Data (PID) into the wallet – the base credential every other one builds on.
