The revised EU regulation on electronic identification and trust services, mandating digital identity wallets for all EU citizens by December 2027.
eIDAS 2.0 is the revised European Union regulation on electronic identification and trust services. It mandates that every EU member state must offer a digital identity wallet (EUDI Wallet) to its citizens, with public sector acceptance required by December 2026 and private sector acceptance by December 2027.
Key innovations include Qualified Electronic Attestations of Attributes (QEAAs) for selective disclosure, mandatory support for both SD-JWT VC and ISO 18013-5 mdoc formats.
23 implementing acts have been adopted. Penalties up to 5 million EUR or 1% of global turnover for non-compliance.
A Qualified Electronic Attestation of Attributes is a digitally signed statement about a person's attributes (such as age, qualifications, or professional status) issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider under eIDAS 2.0.
