European Wallet
Consortium Member
What exactly is the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet?
It's essentially a complimentary mobile application provided by Member States, accessible to both individuals and businesses. Its primary function is to serve as a repository for verifiable credentials, essentially digital documents and attestations used for identification purposes.
Moreover, with a strong emphasis on security and privacy, the EUDI Wallet grants users the ability to manage their data across online platforms. This includes the freedom to decide which information to share, with whom, and when, ensuring users retain full control over their personal data.
In essence, the EUDI Wallet simplifies the process of identity verification and information sharing for individuals within the European Union. Much like familiar digital payment wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, it takes a step further by storing a broader range of credentials, including national IDs, passports, diplomas, health records, and more.
