Which identity orchestration platforms support EUDI Wallet integration?

An identity orchestration platform supports EUDI Wallet integration when it delivers four core capabilities: speak the wallet protocols for both issuance and presentation (OpenID4VCI for credential issuing, OpenID4VP via the Digital Credentials API and ISO/IEC 18013-7 for remote flows, and ISO/IEC 18013-5 for proximity), authenticate to wallets as a registered relying party, verify credentials from every certified wallet as it launches, and fall back to other identity methods when a wallet is unavailable.

Authologic, which builds eID-native identity infrastructure for regulated businesses, orchestrates EUDI Wallets alongside national eIDs, bank-based identity and document checks.

Title card reading "EUDI Wallet integration" with the line "Which platforms support it"

Key takeaways

  • EUDI Wallet integration is a set of capabilities that work together: relying party authentication, presentation protocols, credential verification, selective disclosure, evidence, routing and fallback, and verification without unnecessary qualified trust services.
  • Effective 24 December 2026 under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/848, relying parties are required to register in their Member State of establishment and can only request the specific data sets declared at registration. Intermediaries may assist with the submission process, but the relying party retains full responsibility for compliance.
  • Most technical work after registration can be handed to a relying party intermediary, which is itself treated as a relying party and may not store data about the content of the transaction.
  • Every Member State must provide at least one certified wallet, and wallets can also be built under mandate or recognised by the state, so the number of wallets to verify keeps growing. Whether private wallets are permitted in a given country depends on Member State decisions.
  • Interoperability works at 4 levels: legal (one registration covers the national wallets of all Member States), trust (certified wallets and trusted issuers on EU lists), technical (common credential formats and presentation protocols) and cross-border acceptance (no bilateral agreements with individual wallet providers).
  • For years after 24 December 2027, many users will not have a wallet or the relevant credentials within it, so fallback and routing decide whether wallet acceptance converts.

Which types of platforms will support EUDI Wallet integration?

Until the national registers open on 24 December 2026, EUDI Wallet support is prepared and tested in national test environments.

Platforms preparing for EUDI Wallet integration fall into 4 types, and the type shows what a platform will do when a user has no wallet.


Type of platform

What it brings to wallet integration

What needs to be ensured?

1.

Identity verification providers built around traditional IDV document checks

The wallet added as another capture method next to document and selfie checks

Whether national eIDs and bank-based identity are available as fallback, and how signed wallet data is stored

2.

Qualified / Trust Service Providers (QTSP / TSP)

The ability to execute qualified electronic signatures; issuing QEAA / EAA credentials to the wallet

Whether wallet verification is available on its own, without qualified trust service processes that a use case may not need

3.

Specialised pure wallet verifier solution providers

Wallet protocols, relying party authentication and credential verification

Which other methods are available when a user has no wallet, and who handles routing and fallback

4.

Trust services & identity verification orchestration platforms

EUDI Wallets, national eIDs (notified and non-notified), bank-based identity and document checks behind one integration, with routing and fallback between them as well as access to the trust services

Which national wallets and eIDs are accepted today, and how the next one is added

Authologic belongs to the fourth type: it routes users across EUDI Wallets, national eIDs, bank-based identity and document checks, as well as trust services, through one API.

What does EUDI Wallet integration require from a platform?

EUDI Wallet integration requires 7 capabilities working together. The table maps each one to the standard or rule behind it.


Capability

What it means in practice

Standard or rule behind it

1.

Relying party registration and request authentication

The platform manages registered relying party identities and trust anchors across EU and national registers, and signs presentation requests with authorised relying party access certificates, so the wallet can validate the relying party and show the user an authentic consent prompt.

eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, Article 5b); EUDI Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF); ETSI standards for wallet-relying party access certificates; OpenID4VP request object signing, OpenID Federation 1.0

2.

Presentation protocol handling (remote and proximity)

The platform runs remote presentation in cross-device flows (dynamic QR code) and same-device flows (app-to-app with session continuity) via OpenID4VP, and supports proximity presentation (face-to-face retrieval over BLE, NFC or terminal QR codes).

OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OpenID4VP); ISO/IEC 18013-7 (remote flows); ISO/IEC 18013-5 (proximity flows)

3.

Credential verification and trust chain validation

The platform validates issuer signatures, proof of possession and policy rules, resolves the issuer’s keys against Member State trusted lists, and checks revocation status to detect expired, suspended or revoked credentials.

eIDAS 2.0 trust services framework; EU trusted lists (LOTL and national trusted lists); ETSI TS 119 612; OAuth Token Status List, W3C Bitstring Status List

4.

Credential format handling and selective disclosure (data minimisation)

The platform parses credentials in binary and JSON-based formats and enforces data minimisation through selective disclosure, for example confirming that a user is over 18 without disclosing the date of birth.

ISO/IEC 18013-5 (mdoc, CBOR, COSE); IETF SD-JWT VC; W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0; GDPR Article 5(1)(c)

5.

Evidence and audit trail (dual-data ingestion)

The platform keeps the signed payloads, issuer signatures and verification timestamps as a tamper-evident audit trail, and maps the disclosed attributes into the schemas that downstream AML and core banking systems expect.

AMLR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1624) record-keeping requirements; EBA Guidelines on remote customer onboarding

6.

Routing and non-wallet fallback

The orchestration engine handles users without an active EUDI Wallet, unsupported issuing countries and mobile drop-offs by routing the journey to another method: a national eID, a bank-based ID or a document check with liveness detection.

eIDAS interoperability framework; Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1502 (assurance levels substantial and high); ISO/IEC 30107-3 (presentation attack detection)

7.

Cost and architecture decoupling (wallet verification without qualified trust services)

The platform separates read-only wallet attribute verification from qualified trust service operations, so organisations can run onboarding or attribute checks without the cost, latency or friction of qualified electronic signatures or seals where the use case does not require them.

eIDAS Chapter III (trust services); ETSI EN 319 401 (general policy requirements for trust service providers)

The step-by-step implementation view is in The Simplest Way to Implement the EUDI Wallet.

What must a relying party do itself, and what can a platform take over?

The obligation to register stays with the relying party, in its Member State of establishment. An intermediary can assist with preparing the application.

In Poland, under the draft act, the application can also be submitted through a qualified trust service provider that issues wallet-relying party access or registration certificates.

Under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/848, applicable from 24 December 2026, every Member State runs a national register of wallet-relying parties, available through a website and a common API in human-readable and machine-readable form. The declaration in the register is binding: wallets and users can check it, and a relying party may not request data beyond it.

The obligation to register in your Member State of establishment

Assistance with preparing the application

Declaring the intended use of wallet data

Access certificate lifecycle: issuance, renewal, revocation

Declaring exactly which data you will request

Technical transmission of the request to the user’s wallet

Legal and compliance obligations of your sector (PSD2, AMLR, sectoral rules)

Multi-wallet conformance testing and maintenance of specification updates

Deciding your fallback policy and risk appetite

Executing routing and fallback inside the flow

A relying party intermediary is itself treated as a relying party under Article 5b(10) of eIDAS and registers as one. The same provision prohibits an intermediary from storing data about the content of the transaction.

You decide who you are, why you ask and what you ask for, and the platform can handle how the request is made.

How registration works in practice, including the Polish model in which the intermediary holds the access certificate and the relying party keeps its own registration certificate, is described in What is a relying party intermediary under eIDAS 2.0?

How does a platform handle credentials across national wallets?

Every Member State must provide at least one certified wallet by 24 December 2026, and a state can build its wallet, mandate another organisation to build it, or recognise an independently built one.

While credential formats are standardised, wallets will still vary in protocol versions, supported presentation flows, the exact attribute scopes within specific credentials, and their release cadence for specification updates. A platform absorbs these differences behind a single interface, so a new wallet or version rollout is a platform update and does not require a rebuild on the relying party’s side.

What it means for relying parties

2024-2025

Some countries, such as Italy, launch national wallet apps before the EUDI certification framework is in place

These wallets start with an existing user base

3 June 2026

Denmark’s AltID launches in production

A wallet built for the EUDI framework reaches users, for now only Danish users and Danish relying parties

Before the registers open

Several countries, including Germany, Poland, and Finland, among others, already make test environments with wallet apps available

Tests and technical integration can be prepared before the registers open

24 December 2026

Every Member State must provide at least one certified wallet; relying party registration rules (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/848) apply

The transition from voluntary pilot projects into a binding legal, operational, and architectural regime

24 December 2027

Obligation to accept the wallet under Article 5f(2) of eIDAS begins

Integration, registration and fallback must be ready before this date

The question to ask a platform is how many national wallets it verifies today, how it adds the next one, and who runs conformance testing when a wallet changes its implementation.

Which countries’ wallets and eIDs matter most depends on where your users are.

How to choose methods for each country, starting from the data you need, is covered in How do you choose identity verification methods for each country?

Live schemes and adoption are mapped country by country in Where Europe’s identity apps actually reach | eID Adoption Race H1 2026, and Denmark’s launch is described in Denmark launches AltID.

Which identity platforms are best prepared for an interoperable EUDI Wallet ecosystem?

The platforms best prepared for an interoperable EUDI Wallet ecosystem verify credentials from any certified wallet, in both credential formats and both presentation modes, and decide whom to trust using the common EU trust framework. Identity orchestration platforms such as Authologic bridge the gap between complex EU wallet protocols and existing enterprise workflows, allowing relying parties to accept certified credentials without rebuilding their tech stack.

Interoperability in the EUDI Wallet ecosystem works at 4 levels:

  1. Legal. A relying party registered in its Member State of establishment, with valid certificates linked to its registration, can use the national EUDI Wallets of all Member States.
  2. Trust. Wallets are certified, and the Commission publishes a list of certified European Digital Identity Wallets based on information from Member States (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/849). Providers of person identification data and qualified trust service providers appear on lists published under eIDAS, so a verifier can check the issuer of a credential from any Member State against the same sources.
  3. Technical. Wallets use common credential formats (SD-JWT VC and mdoc) and common presentation protocols, defined in the Architecture and Reference Framework and the eIDAS 2.0 implementing rules.
  4. Cross-border acceptance. Certified wallets are built for use across the EU, so relying parties do not negotiate bilateral acceptance agreements with individual wallet providers. In the first months, cross-border use may still be limited: some wallets launched before certification serve only their own country.

A platform prepared for interoperability supports both credential formats and both presentation modes, tests against more than 1 national wallet and can show conformance results, such as the OpenID4VP self-certification tests opened by the OpenID Foundation in August 2026. It also accepts electronic attestations of attributes from issuers other than the provider of person identification data, because many use cases combine both. Which evidence to ask a provider for is covered in Which certifications should an identity verification provider hold in the EU?

Interoperability is proven in cross-border testing, such as the EUDIW Unfold interoperability weeks, ETSI plugtests and trials with national wallets. Authologic takes part in these tests to validate the interoperability of its solution.

Authologic builds its own interoperable, eIDAS-compliant EUDI infrastructure and works on both sides of the exchange: it verifies wallet credentials as part of its orchestration platform and, as a registered non-qualified trust service provider, issues electronic attestations of attributes. Organisations can test wallet flows in the EUDI & Wallet Playground. The terms used in this section are defined in the Digital Identity Glossary.

What happens when a wallet is unavailable?

For years after the acceptance obligation applies on 24 December 2027, the most common wallet event in an onboarding flow will be its absence.

Users will not have a wallet or proper credential yet, will hold one from another Member State, will present an expired credential or will meet a provider outage. Furthermore, during the first year, challenges may arise around the mutual recognition of Member State trusted lists, delayed wallet rollouts, or the absence of specific attributes within individual credentials (even the PID itself, beyond its mandatory fields, may vary across countries).

A platform built for wallet acceptance needs a defined fallback sequence inside one flow: if the wallet is unavailable, the user goes to the national eID, and if the eID is unavailable, to bank-based identity or a document check, without starting over. The wallet becomes one path among several, and the platform’s role is to decide which path each user takes.

What happens when a provider behind a method goes down is covered in What happens when an identity verification provider goes down?

Your own side of readiness can be scored with the EUDI Wallet Readiness Checklist.

Authologic verifies EUDI Wallet credentials in national test environments today, alongside 140+ identity methods available through one API, leading with eIDs, bank IDs and wallets and falling back to document and selfie checks. Authologic will act as a relying party intermediary once national registers open, handling access certificates, multi-wallet testing, routing and fallback for its customers.

FAQ

When do relying parties have to accept the EUDI Wallet?

From 24 December 2027, private relying parties that are required by law or contract to use strong user authentication for online identification, except micro and small enterprises, must accept the wallet when a user chooses to use it (Article 5f(2) eIDAS).

Can an intermediary handle wallet integration for us?

A relying party intermediary can run the verifier infrastructure for many relying parties and can assist with the registration application. The registration duty itself stays with your organisation. The intermediary is treated as a relying party under eIDAS and may not store data about the content of the transaction.

Does wallet integration replace our other verification methods?

Wallet acceptance is an additional obligation and leaves other methods in place. Users remain free to choose their method, and most will not have a wallet for years after the obligation applies, so the wallet becomes one path in a multi-method flow with routing and fallback.
