A digital ID and personal digital wallet for EU citizens, residents and businesses
Your personal data tells your life’s story; you should be the one to control it and decide when and with whom your data is shared.
The EU Digital Identity Wallet makes it possible. It will be a secure and easy way for European citizens, residents and businesses to prove who they are when accessing digital services. The wallet app will enable you to safely obtain, store and share important digital documents about yourself and electronically sign or seal documents.
Providing the documents needed to open a new bank account, enrol in a university abroad, or apply for your next dream job will be both easy and secure. And your privacy will always be respected; you control what data is shared and who has access to it.
The Digital Identity Regulation will soon be adopted. Once passed it will enable the digital transformation of the public sector, allowing for more services to be accessed digitally, including across borders. Businesses will find it easier to offer online services across Europe as the wallet means secure authentication will be available to every potential customer in the EU. Each Member State will offer at least one version of the EU Digital Identity Wallet, built to the same common specifications.
