👀 The NEW European Digital Identity Wallets (eID aka GlobalID) 👀

The European digital identity wallet:

The European digital identity wallet signifies a significant shift in the paradigm of digital identity in Europe. Its purpose is to guarantee universal access for individuals and businesses to secure and reliable electronic identification and authentication.

According to the updated regulation, member states will provide citizens and businesses with digital wallets. These wallets will allow the linkage of their national digital identities with evidence of other personal attributes such as a driving license, diplomas, or bank account information. With a simple click on their mobile phones, citizens can now prove their identity and share electronic documents directly from their digital wallets.

The newly introduced European digital identity wallets empower all Europeans to access online services using their national digital identification. This identification will be universally recognized throughout Europe, eliminating the need for private identification methods or unnecessary sharing of personal data. User control ensures that only the necessary information will be shared, preserving privacy and security.
