eIDAS 2 requirements and EUDI portfolio: compliance, onboarding and identity verification

Introduction: towards a harmonized European digital identity

The European Union is continuing the secure digitalization with eIDAS 2.0 And the EUDI wallet (EU Digital Identity Wallet).

The objective is clear:

• standardize remote identity checks
• ensure total interoperability between Member States
• protect user privacy while ensuring regulatory compliance

For businesses, this meansadapt their KYC/KYB processes in order to remain compliant and secure their transactions and onboarding.

eIDAS 2.0: the European legal framework

eIDAS 2.0 defines requirements for electronic identification and trust services :

• Mutual recognition of digital identities between Member States
• Standardization of identity proofs and electronic signatures
• Secure and traceable verification requirement for critical transactions
• Possible integration of digital wallets (EUDI Wallet) to simplify procedures

Businesses must therefore align their solutions with eIDAS 2.0 to validate the identity of users and businesses remotely.

The EUDI wallet: a central tool for onboarding

The EUDI wallet allows every European citizen to store and share their identity information securely:

• Official documents validated by the authorities
• Verifiable attributes such as proof of age, professional status, or legal role
• Biometric data for face/document correspondence
• Ability to select what information to share with businesses

With this portfolio, businesses can obtain reliable and verifiable evidence, thus reducing the risk of fraud and improving the user experience.
