What changes with eIDAS 2.0

Woman with glasses thinking about what to do for EUDI

From 2027

Obligation to provide

Each Member State must develop and provide at least one digital identity wallet. Citizens can store their government-verified identity data (so-called Personal Identification Data, or PID for short) as well as other verified attributes and unverified ones (EAA), such as driving licences, diplomas, professional qualifications, and bank account data.

End of 2027

Obligation to accept

For defined use cases, service providers (banks, insurers, telecom providers, etc.) are legally required to accept the wallet. This obligation is not optional—violations may result in fines of up to €5 million or 1% of global annual turnover.

From 2027

Obligation to accept

Unlike the fragmented eID landscape under eIDAS 1.0, wallets from every Member State must be recognized across the entire EU. Common technical standards are intended to ensure interoperability.

Connector? Yes—but done right.

A “pure” wallet connector that only technically connects different wallets falls short. In the target state of the EUDI Wallet, all wallets will be using the same protocol anyway.

What users and companies really need:

A trust layer that not only connects wallets, but orchestrates the right credentials for each use case—even if they are spread across multiple wallets or partially missing.
Example: For onboarding in the insurance sector, the following proofs are required:
What if those credentials are stored in three different wallets? 

Or two of them are missing?

That’s where Nect comes in:

Our solution detects what’s missing, requests it specifically, and guides the user through the optimal flow—fully automated, user-friendly, and compliant with regulations.

Nect as EUDI Intermediary on the smartphone

Concrete use in day-to-day practice

Simple attribute: referral from doctor to doctor

Patients prove their identity and insurance status and can then be referred directly.

Health ID for ePA, e-prescriptions, and TI Messenger

The Health ID forms the identity basis for applications and makes access to sensitive health services easier.

Access to statutory health insurance apps

The verified data enables secure login for telemedicine as well as the easy, EU-wide redemption of e-prescriptions.

Concrete use in day-to-day government operations

Digital access to administrative services

Citizens identify themselves via smartphone for online services—already in use in the Schleswig-Holstein service portal as a proven practical addition to the BundID.

Fully digital application and approval processes with electronic signatures

Processes such as i-KFZ are handled fully digitally, including identification and qualified electronic signatures for individuals and businesses.

Digital delivery of notices

Documents such as fee notices or social benefits are delivered digitally in a legally secure way and processed directly—without postal delays.

Concrete use in day-to-day finance

Fastlane contract conclusion

Thanks to the EUDI Wallet and qualified electronic signature (QES), even highly regulated contracts such as life insurance can be concluded digitally immediately, end-to-end, and without manual follow-up.

Fully automated re-KYC for existing customers

The AMLR, applicable from 2027, requires regular checks of existing customers every 1–5 years. The EUDI Wallet replaces lengthy postal processes with a fully automated real-time comparison of current PID data.

Integrated compliance checks

Verified wallet data enables automated sanctions and PEP checks in the background. A system-side audit trail ensures AMLR and eIDAS compliance without burdening the customer process.

All-in-Trust Service Platform for natural and legal persons

Trust & acceptance layer for highly regulated companies

Identification methods guide users to the appropriate verification process. While banks must connect the EUDI wallet, a pure connector is not enough, as many users do not have the wallet installed or do not know their PIN. Frequent switching between methods like Video-Ident, eID, or EUDI wallet lowers conversion. A logic layer should therefore automatically select the best method and guide users directly there. If it is also used for alternatives like the ePass, the obligation becomes a solution that increases conversion, reduces costs, and simplifies identification.
