National wallet

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.

EUDIW status

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]

Stakeholder groups

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
2.
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

Germany

National wallet

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.

EUDIW status

To foster pioneering solutions in digital identity, Germany's Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIND) initiated the "Funke" challenge. This competition aims to develop and test technical solutions for future German EUDI wallets in the form of prototypes, contributing valuable insights for creating secure, data-efficient, and user-friendly EUDI wallets.

Current progress

A minimal set with all required components is out as "public beta": Swiyu wallet, issuer and verifier components and a proprietary trust framework.
For most aspects, compatibility with the ARF/EUDI wallet is considered crucial.
The production variants are scheduled for some time in 2026 (but there is a referendum in progress, which might postpone the date)
