The European Commission has advanced the European Digital Identity Wallet under the revised eIDAS Regulation.
The framework allows citizens to control identity data while requiring strict compliance with GDPR, data minimization, and security by design. Service providers must ensure lawful processing, limited data retention, and user control.
This initiative creates new compliance responsibilities for organizations integrating digital identity services.
