The legal framework for European Digital Identity
The legal framework for European Digital Identity
The European Digital Identity Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 establishes the legal framework for a secure and interoperable digital identity ecosystem across the European Union.
At the centre of this framework are the European Digital Identity Wallets (‘wallets’), which enable natural and legal persons to access services across Member States while ensuring the protection of personal data and privacy through secure digital identification.
The Regulation affirms that everyone in the EU has the right to a digital identity under their sole control, enabling them to exercise their rights in the digital environment and participate in the digital economy. In addition, the Regulation sets out the legal framework for (qualified) trust service providers and the services they deliver.
