Digital Identity and the EUDI Wallet: Essentials
What the European Digital Identity Wallet is, what it changes for credentials, and what it leaves unchanged.
Why this course
Member States must offer at least one EUDI Wallet by 24 December 2026, and Germany plans its state wallet for 2 January 2027. Many members will be asked what this means for their credentials within months. A short, dated, plain-language course meets that demand now and leads to A06 and A07.

- Explain what eIDAS 2.0 requires from Member States and by when.
- Distinguish person identification data, attestations of attributes and other credentials held in a wallet.
- Explain selective disclosure and holder control with an education or employment example.
- Identify who in your organisation would act as issuer, holder support or relying party.
