European Digital Identity Wallet
EUDI Wallet.
The EU-mandated digital identity wallet under eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation 2024/1183), to be offered by every EU member state by 2026, holding citizen credentials and accepted across public and private services Union-wide.
The eIDAS 2.0 mandate is the largest planned identity infrastructure rollout of the decade. By end of 2026 every EU citizen has access to an EUDI Wallet; by 2027 large private platforms must accept it. The compliance and integration work for B2C services with EU users is meaningful and the timeline is firm — the trajectory from "optional" to "expected" to "required" runs over the next three years.
