Digital identity in Europe is evolving from fragmented, centralized systems toward a secure, citizen‑centric model. This video walks through the journey from today’s problems, to eIDAS regulation, to the EUDI wallet and its real‑world impact on everyday life.
Traditional digital identity often relies on many separate, centralized databases controlled by different organizations. People must repeatedly share the same personal details, which get copied and stored in multiple places. This duplication increases the risk of data breaches, identity theft, and loss of control over who has access to sensitive information.
The original eIDAS regulation introduced a federated approach to digital identity in the EU. Countries could recognize each other’s national eIDs, enabling cross‑border online services. However, credentials still depended on centralized systems and government‑issued identities, leaving users with limited flexibility and interoperability across different platforms and private services.
The European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallet is a mobile application that lets every EU citizen store and manage digital credentials, such as ID, licenses, and certificates. It aims to provide a secure, standardized way to prove identity and attributes across borders, giving users a convenient, trusted tool that works both online and in person.
The EUDI wallet unlocks seamless experiences in many areas. For travel, it can streamline boarding and border checks. For payments, it can support strong customer authentication. In education and government, it can securely present diplomas or access e‑government services, replacing paper documents with instantly verifiable digital proofs.
eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI wallet create a foundation for a trustworthy, user‑centric digital economy. Citizens and businesses gain interoperable tools to interact securely across borders, industries, and services. This supports the EU’s digital decade ambitions: making digital interactions more efficient, inclusive, and respectful of privacy and fundamental rights.
Centralized digital identities created risk and fragmentation. eIDAS introduced cross‑border recognition, and eIDAS 2.0 advances this with self‑sovereign principles and the EUDI wallet. Together they enable secure, privacy‑preserving credentials, practical real‑world use cases, and a common European framework for digital trust in the years ahead.
