EU Digital Identity
Every EU state offers citizens a digital identity wallet, and public services must accept it.
ForHeads of digital identity and customer onboarding at public bodies, banks and other regulated service providers.
What’s changing, and when
The European Digital Identity Regulation entered into force on 20 May 2024. Member States must make a digital identity wallet available to every citizen, resident and business by the end of 2026, and public authorities must accept it from then. Services that are legally required to identify their customers, such as banks, are also obliged to accept the wallet for authentication.
- May 2024 European Digital Identity Regulation in force
- End 2026 Wallets offered; public authorities accept them
Why it can’t happen in one step
Each Member State builds and certifies its own wallet, and every service that relies on identity checks has to connect to all of them in turn.
How Polymonial carries you across
- Identity data reaches only the service entitled to it, secure for them alone.
- Records of every identity check that cannot be quietly changed.
Trust that travels.
Secure, trusted and under your control.
