EUDI W status
As non-EU country, Switzerland will not adopt the EUDIW. But it is clearly stated that compatibility with the EUDI wallet is important to the Swiss E-ID solution. It was announced in February 2026 that the first version of the E-ID will not be EU compatible and no statements were given about subsequent versions and their timing.
Electronic identity and Personal Identification Data (PID)

United Kingdom (UK)

National wallet

GOV.UK Wallet 

The UK government has developed its own digital identity framework for the implementation of the GOV.UK Wallet:


EUDIW status

  • The UK is collaborating with international digital identity initiatives, but not specifically with the EUDI Wallet.

Electronic identity and Personal Identification Data (PID)

  • Influenced by the EUDIW (eIDAS 2.0) standards.
  • Consists of users' name, date of birth, nationality or residency status, and a verified photograph.
  • Verification: To generate this data, users must first verify their identity using the GOV.UK One Login app (which may involve a face scan) or at a Post Office.
  • PID is stored locally on the users' device—not in a centralized government database—.
  • The system is designed for selective disclosure
