THE REGULATION On this page you can find details about the Regulation that gives legal basis to EU Digital Identity Wallets as well as an overview of the current status of all related implementing Regulation.
The European Digital Identity Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 is a crucial component in the establishment of a
secure and interoperable digital identity ecosystem across the Union. With the European Digital Identity Wallets (‘wallets’) being the cornerstone of the framework, it aims at facilitating access to services across Member States, for natural and legal persons, while ensuring the protection of personal data and privacy through secure and
privacy-preserving digital identification across the EU.
It states that everyone in the EU has the "right to a digital identity that is under their sole control and that enables them to exercise their rights in the digital environment and to participate in the digital economy." In addition, the Regulation sets out the legal framework for (qualified) trust service providers and the
services they provide.
The European Digital Identity Regulation sets the basic legal framework with high-level requirements, but the technical details of how to implement that law need to be specified. Implementing Acts fill in these details: Implementing Acts are always made open to public consultation, with feedback taken into consideration. Curious to learn more about what Implementing Acts are and how they are adopted? The following Implementing Acts are currently open for public consultation. This is your chance to guide and shape the future of the European Digital Identity Framework, and ensure that EU Digital Identity Wallets meet the needs of everyone in Europe.
