The revised eIDAS Regulation (EU 2024/1183) creates a framework for EU Digital Identity Wallets that citizens can use across all Member States for identity verification, document storage, and secure transactions. The regulation mandates that organisations performing Strong Customer Authentication must accept EUDI Wallet credentials by December 2027.

eIDAS 2.0 establishes technical standards for credential formats, cryptographic verification, privacy protections, and cross-border interoperability. Organisations must verify credentials from any EU Member State’s wallet implementation, handle multiple technical formats, and maintain audit trails for regulatory compliance.

Cryptographic Verification: Validates digital signatures and proofs across multiple formats (JWT, JSON-LD, mDocs) ensuring credentials are authentic and unaltered.

Real-Time Status Checking: Confirms credentials remain valid by checking revocation status across different Member State implementations.

Policy-Driven Validation: Enforces business rules and compliance requirements through configurable policies rather than custom code, adapting to regulatory changes without development cycles.

Cross-Border Support: Accepts credentials from any EU Member State while mapping varying assurance levels to local jurisdiction requirements.

Audit Trail Generation: Creates comprehensive logs for every verification event, meeting regulatory requirements for record-keeping and compliance review.

Organisations that need to verify digital credentials (relying parties) including financial institutions for customer onboarding and Strong Customer Authentication, healthcare providers for patient identity verification, telecommunications providers for subscriber verification, e-commerce platforms for age verification and identity confirmation, and any organisation accepting digital credentials from EUDI Wallets.

Organisations with existing identity infrastructure including banks and payment processors integrating wallet verification into existing authentication flows, government agencies accepting cross-border credentials, regulated industries requiring compliant verification capabilities, and enterprises with established identity systems adding digital credential support.

System integrators and consultancies: Technology partners building identity solutions for clients who need pre-certified verification infrastructure.

Technical teams can integrate Vidos verification services in 1-4 weeks. This includes API integration and testing, configuration of verification policies for specific use cases, sandbox testing with sample credentials from multiple formats, and production deployment with dedicated support.

This timeline assumes standard integration requirements. More complex orchestration or custom policy requirements may extend the timeline, but typically remain under 8 weeks compared to 9-18 months for building verification infrastructure from scratch.

Organisations subject to Strong Customer Authentication requirements under PSD2 must accept EUDI Wallet credentials by December 2027. With typical enterprise implementations requiring 9-18 months, organisations starting in 2025 position themselves to meet compliance deadlines. Those waiting until 2026 face compressed timelines and higher implementation risks.

Organisations integrating verification infrastructure now gain operational experience before mandatory enforcement, process refinement while volumes are manageable, competitive advantage by offering digital credential acceptance early, infrastructure readiness as new credential types become available across Member States, and technical capability to handle evolving standards and wallet implementations.

Vidos implements privacy-preserving verification following GDPR requirements and eIDAS 2.0 technical standards. This includes data minimisation (only processing data necessary for verification), selective disclosure (verifying only attributes required for each use case), no credential storage (verification results returned without storing credential contents), and user consent (all verification requires user presentation of credentials through their wallet).

eIDAS 2.0 technical specifications continue to develop through the European Commission’s implementing acts. Vidos maintains continuous compliance through regular platform updates, active participation in EU standardisation efforts, support for emerging credential formats, backwards compatibility maintaining existing integrations, and dedicated monitoring of Member State implementations.

Organisations using Vidos verification infrastructure receive updates automatically without breaking changes, protecting implementation investments while maintaining compliance with current technical requirements.

Vidos verification infrastructure integrates with existing identity and authentication systems through standard APIs. Organisations can add EUDI Wallet verification alongside current authentication methods without replacing existing infrastructure.

Common integration patterns include adding wallet verification as an additional authentication factor, integrating credential verification into existing customer onboarding processes, extending current identity verification systems with digital credential support, and building new services that accept both traditional and digital credentials. The platform provides RESTful APIs, comprehensive documentation, and pre-built SDKs for major programming languages.

eIDAS 2.0 requires organisations to accept credentials from any EU Member State’s EUDI Wallet implementation. This creates technical complexity as Member States deploy wallets with different implementations, credential formats, and technical approaches.

Vidos handles cross-border verification complexity by supporting multiple credential formats (JWT, JSON-LD, mDocs) used by different Member States, verifying cryptographic proofs regardless of which Member State issued the credential, mapping varying assurance levels to organisational requirements, maintaining compatibility with different wallet implementations, and processing credentials in multiple languages and character sets. This lets organisations accept credentials from any EU citizen without building separate verification logic for each Member State.
