Travelling
Use your Wallet to securely store and share passports or boarding passes, making airport and hotel check-ins faster and easier.
Pilot projects The EU Digital Wallet Consortium (EWC) is one of the four initial Large Scale Pilot Projects that tested prototype EU Digital Identity Wallets in several use cases in real-life settings across Europe. Their work began in 2023 and ended in 2025. Co-funded by European Commission grants, EWC brought together private and public bodies from across Europe.
European countries formed EWC.
Public and private partners.
Use cases piloted. Here is the list of all European countries that participated in this successful program. Belgium Bulgaria Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Luxemburg Netherlands Norway Poland Romania Switzerland Spain Sweden Ukraine United Kingdom The use cases focused on the security, usability, and legal compliance made possible by EUDI Wallets.

The use cases focused on the security, usability, and legal compliance made possible by EUDI Wallets. EWC carried out in-depth citizen research to identify real user needs and problems to be solved. Learn all about EWC's work developing prototype wallets and open-source components as well as their onboarding work. Comprehensive list of EUDI-compliant wallets used in EWC, including specifications, documentation, and deployment status. Provides the ODI wallet codebase, hosting models, and guides to enable open and interoperable wallet deployment. Specifies how legal entities are onboarded via national schemes and the structure of organisational credentials. Defines the user enrolment process across Member States for Personal ID Wallet usage, ensuring consistency and compliance. Provides an overview of singing methods for use with EUDI Wallets. Short, focused webinars allowed the public to get up to speed on EWC's work. Each session dove into a key topic, from payments and business wallets to digital travel credentials and document signing. on this page Webinar number 8 End User Pilots outcomes – What do citizens think of the EUDI wallet? Webinar number 1 Webinar number 2 Webinar number 3 Webinar number 4 Webinar number 5 Webinar number 6 Webinar number 7 Webinar number 8 EWC worked to define how wallets interact across borders, and how to measure this via conformance testing. Lays out the technical foundation for wallet interoperability across EU borders, systems, and service providers. Evaluates how pilot wallets conform to the interoperability framework, with test results and integration challenges. Establishes the suitability of specific credentials to be tested in the use case piloting. Defines a test environment for every phase of the piloted use cases. EWC worked to define sustainable governance frameworks and viable business models for the EUDI ecosystem. Defines roles, responsibilities, and governance mechanisms for a sustainable, trusted EUDI ecosystem. Explores viable business models and value flows among stakeholders to sustain wallet operations beyond the pilot phase. EWC’s communication and exploitation plans ensure visibility, stakeholder engagement, and post-project reuse. A dedicated sustainability strategy outlines viable business models to secure the Wallet’s long-term future. Details a strategy for exploiting the outcomes of EWC's work. Outlines the communication activities for promoting EWC's work. Sets out potential business and revenue models and estimates the scope of the future EUDI ecosystem. Stakeholder analysis that evaluates legal, technical and organisational challenges of implementing the EUDI ecosystem.
