Does the nation have an idea and maybe even a documented architecture for how the national identity wallet(s) and/or the EU digital identity wallet should be build and how the wallet ecosystem should be integrated with the rest of the digitalised society?

Which actors within the nation are actively involved in the work of the digital identity wallets, e.g. organisations working on the ecosystem components or organisations that have the responsibility to uphold certain functions of the eIDAS regulation.

France has not yet introduced a national digital identity wallet but plans to adopt the EUDI Wallet. France has introduced the France Identité app, a government-developed digital identity application designed to simplify interactions with administrative services and enhance secure identity verification. Launched on February 14, 2024, this free application allows users to store their national ID card information on their smartphones, facilitating various procedures more efficiently. [ref]

FranceConnect is a single sign-on platform provided by the French government. It allows users to securely log in to over 1,400 online services (both public and private) using a single set of credentials. This eliminates the need to create multiple accounts for different services. An enhanced version of FranceConnect, called FranceConnect+, is used for more sensitive services, such as those involving financial transactions or highly secure data. It requires stronger identity verification, often through a digital identity like France Identité.

FranceConnect: France is working to integrate its existing national digital identity systems, such as the FranceConnect platform, into the EUDI Wallet framework. FranceConnect is already a widely used digital identity system that allows citizens to access various public services securely.

France, in collaboration with Germany, leads the POTENTIAL consortium, which began work on the EUDI Wallet, with deployment expected by 2025. [ref]

France collaborates with private companies and technology providers to develop and refine the EUDI Wallet. For example:

• IDEMIA, a French multinational specializing in identity technologies, is contributing to the wallet's infrastructure. IDEMIA focuses on secure identity verification, biometric authentication, and pseudonymization to protect user data. [ref]
• iDAKTO, a company enabling secure and sovereign interactions with personal data, is also involved in ensuring the wallet's security and compliance with privacy regulations. [ref]

Germany has not yet introduced a national digital identity wallet but plans to adopt the EUDI Wallet. The current usable national identity app in Germany is the AusweisApp2. This app allows users to utilize their electronic identity card (eID) for secure online identification. With AusweisApp2, individuals can prove their identity digitally, enabling them to complete various tasks online, such as submitting applications that would typically require in-person verification and signatures. [ref]

Data included in the national electronic ID card: photograph, the data the person can see on his/her ID card (Surname, Name at birth, given names, date of birth, place of birth, date of expiry, card access number, signature, colour of eyes, address, height, date, authority, religious name or pseudonym, logo eID function) and, if the person wishes, also his/her fingerprints. The person decides whether his/her fingerprint data will be stored on the ID card.ref

GOV.UK Wallet

https://www.gov.uk/wallet

The UK is not contributing to the EUDI Wallet due to its non-EU status. It has been actively developing its own digital identity framework:

• The UK government has introduced the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), which provides guidelines for digital identity verification.
• GOV.UK One Login is the UK's new unified digital identity system for accessing public services.
• The UK is collaborating with international digital identity initiatives, but not specifically with the EUDI Wallet.

Already launched (>18 million downloads. Currently supports digital ID card, and mDL)

Italy released the “Documenti su IO” functionality as the first step towards the Italian Digital Wallet, introducing in a production stage the first pre-release of “IT-Wallet System”. On 4 December 2024 the national digital services mobile app (IO App) enabled all citizens and residents to activate and store the digital version of three documents: the digital Driving License, Health Insurance Card and Disability Card.

Italy is currently working on aligning its digital identity framework with eIDAS regulations to ensure interoperability with EUDIW implementations, towards the integration of its national digital identity system into the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.
Italy actively contributes to two of the European Commission’s EUDIW Large Scale Pilot Projects, the NOBID and POTENTIAL consortiums, and in the upcoming APTITUDE and WEBUILD consortiums.

Key stakeholders involved in Italy’s digital identity efforts include:

• Department for Digital Transformation of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers as owner institution
• PagoPA S.p.A. as IO app owner and public IT-Wallet provider
• Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS - the Italian State Printing Works and Mint) as digital documents issuer.

• Updated uptake numbers of the “Documenti su IO” functionality can be found on the IO App official website.
• Ongoing efforts to incorporate digital identity functionality by 2025.

GRNET is actively following the development of the EUDIW and working on the evolution of the existing gov.gr wallet to an EUDIW compliant wallet (ensuring ARF compliance). To this end, GRNET is a partner to EUDIW-related Large Scale Pilots like POTENTIAL, EWC, DC4EU and the forthcoming APTITUDE and WE BUILD projects. 

The PID currently included in the gov.gr wallet is from the national ID card and it contains:

• ID Number
• Issuance Date
• Name
• Surname
• Father's Name
• Mother's Name
• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth
• Issuance Office
• ID Photo

The gov.gr wallet also includes other documents, such as driving licences, vehicle licenses, as well as social security certificates.
