From identity document upload to credential presentation
The European Digital Identity Wallet framework enables people and businesses to use digital identity data and electronic attestations across services. A relying party asks for appropriate attributes; the wallet holder reviews and presents them through the applicable trust and protocol framework.
The European Commission’s EUDI Regulation overview and continuously updated Wallet Toolbox are primary references for implementation planning.
Design the whole relying-party journey
- Determine the legal and business purpose for each requested attribute.
- Register or identify the relying party as required for the use case.
- Request the minimum appropriate data or proof.
- Allow the wallet holder to understand and approve the disclosure.
- Validate presentation integrity, issuer trust, status and binding.
- Translate verified attributes into the service decision.
- Retain only the evidence and data required for the defined purpose.
Teams must align product, privacy, compliance, security, trust-list handling, customer support and fallback journeys.
Decisions to resolve early
Evaluate EUDI Wallet infrastructure providers
Distinguish wallet issuance, credential issuance, trust services, relying-party connectivity, orchestration and verification. A provider may cover one layer or combine several.
- Protocol, credential format and interface support
- Trust-list, certificate and status validation
- Selective disclosure and data-minimisation controls
- Mobile, cross-device and accessibility journeys
- Sandbox quality, conformance evidence and release management
- Fallback to existing eID or verification methods
The regulatory and technical framework continues to evolve. Confirm current implementing rules, specifications and obligations with primary EU sources and qualified advisers.
