The digital wallet for Germany and Europe
Communication, banking, travel – much of everyday life already happens on smartphones. Proving identity or sharing documents, however, is still often complicated: entering data, uploading files, or appearing in person. The EUDI Wallet simplifies this. Digital identity and credentials can be stored and presented when needed – online or in person. Only the information required in each situation is shared. This shifts control back to the individual. What is shared, and when, remains transparent – for example, confirming age instead of revealing a full date of birth. The result: simpler, safer interactions and full control over personal data.

Working together for a secure digital future
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernization (BMDS), the Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovations (SPRIND) is leading the development of the German EUDI Wallet. Working with partners including the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Bundesdruckerei GmbH (bdr), Fraunhofer AISEC, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and Meiré und Meiré, the team is building a secure, privacy-focused, and user-centered infrastructure. The goal is an interoperable EUDI Wallet ecosystem, developed collaboratively and aligned with European standards.

-
State responsibility
Today, a reliable digital identity is as important as the ID card or passport in your wallet. With the EUDI Wallet, the state is creating a legal and technical framework so that people can securely identify themselves digitally – in all EU member states.
-
Open ecosystem
The EUDI Wallet is designed to work together with other systems. Government agencies and companies can develop their own digital services based on this. Uniform standards ensure that new services can be easily connected.
-
Digital sovereignty
Central functions of digital identity remain a public responsibility. This reduces dependence on large, non-European platforms. Europe is thus strengthening its independence and ability to act in the digital space.
-
Availability
The EUDI Wallet will be introduced gradually. Safety and clear benefits for people are at the forefront. A national EUDI Wallet app for smartphones will be available from 2027, with new functions being added on an ongoing basis.
-
Trust in the rule of law
Security and data protection are firmly anchored in the technology right from the start. Only the most necessary data is processed and the protection of privacy is mandatory. Digital documents are legally recognized and backed by the state.
-
Future-oriented
The EUDI Wallet is constantly growing with new functions and use cases to become a modern infrastructure. In the future, the EUDI Wallet will enable digital payments and be enhanced with pseudonymous logins for maximum privacy. This ongoing development makes it a versatile tool for everyday digital life throughout Europe.
Many participants, one infrastructure: the EUDI Wallet ecosystem
The EUDI Wallet is more than just an app. For it to work in everyday life, it needs the cooperation of many stakeholders – from authorities and companies to digital services. For users, this means: They receive digital documents, such as those from authorities or organizations, store them securely in their wallet and decide for themselves what information they pass on and when. So, for example, documents would no longer need to be uploaded when opening a bank account. Instead, only the information that is actually required is checked directly and electronically.
To make this work, organizations also collaborate closely: Authorities, companies and other institutions issue digital documents and make them available so that they can be used and checked directly by other bodies. This opens up new opportunities for companies and administrations: Processes can be mapped digitally, checks automated and workflows significantly simplified – without media disruptions and without manual intermediate steps. Step by step, a reliable ecosystem is being created that offers benefits for everyone involved: Users retain control over their data, while organizations can make processes more efficient, secure and faster.
