Revision of the eIDAS Regulation enables the adoption of digital identity wallets in the EU

In May 2024, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the revised eIDAS Regulation, which provides for the identification of persons in cross-border transactions between EU countries and for trust services used in electronic transactions. A key obligation of the revised Regulation is that all EU Member States must provide at least one wallet that meets the requirements of the Regulation within 24 months after the first batch of technical implementing acts that supplement the eIDAS Regulation has entered into force.

The Digital and Population Data Services Agency is set to publish a wallet application for Finns in late 2026.
