The EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) is a state-backed digital identity wallet that every EU Member State must offer to its citizens and residents under eIDAS 2.0. With the wallet, users can:

• Store and manage their verified identity data and other digital credentials.
• Prove their identity across EU Member States.
• Share verified attributes with online services and control what information is disclosed.

The core credential in the wallet is Person Identification Data (PID), issued by or on behalf of a Member State at a High Level of Assurance (LoA). Instead of uploading identity documents, the applicant presents their PID from the wallet.

Once the wallets are available, banks, financial services, and other businesses that must use strong user authentication will be required to accept the EUDIW at the user's request.

The Sumsub EUDIW Prototype lets you go through this flow end to end and test how it fits into your verification flows before the rollout.

Use cases

The prototype helps businesses that operate in the EU prepare for accepting the EU Digital Identity Wallet under eIDAS 2.0. With it, you can:

• Go through the EUDIW verification flow as an applicant, using a test wallet.
• Add EUDIW to your verification levels and configure fallback to other verification methods.
• Review which PID data is returned and how it appears in the applicant profile and via API.

Solution benefits

• High assurance. The EUDIW framework is designed to provide government-issued identity data at a High Level of Assurance (LoA) under eIDAS 2.0.
• Privacy by design. With selective disclosure, the wallet shares only the requested data fields, never the full wallet content.
• Trusted data. Identity data in the wallet is cryptographically signed by the issuer and is validated upon presentation.
• Effortless user experience. Applicants verify in a few taps, with no document photos required.
• Seamless integration. EUDIW works as a regular Non-Doc verification option through your existing Web or Mobile SDK integration.
• Flexible flows. Combine EUDIW with other verification steps, such as Liveness, and redirect applicants to document-based or other Non-Doc verification in case of failure using Workflow Builder.
• Cross-border by design. EUDIW is a harmonised framework across all EU Member States, designed to replace a patchwork of national eID schemes with one common standard. You can enable the prototype for one, several, or all 27 EU countries.

How EUDIW Prototype work

The EUDIW verification flow includes the following steps:

1. An applicant selects EU Digital Identity Wallet as the verification method.
2. Sumsub initiates a request for the applicant's PID and redirects the applicant to open their wallet:
   1. Same device. The applicant taps a link that opens the wallet app on the same device.
   2. Cross device. The applicant scans a QR code with the wallet app on their mobile device.
3. In the wallet, the applicant reviews the data request and consents to share their PID. The wallet shares only the requested data fields.
4. The applicant returns to the verification flow, and Sumsub retrieves the validated PID data.
5. Sumsub maps the PID data to the applicant profile. The verification result is displayed in the Dashboard, like other Non-Doc verification checks, and the applicant completes the verification flow.

EUDIW verification requirements

To go through EUDIW verification in Sandbox, you need:

• The EUDI reference wallet with a test PID. The wallet is distributed via Apple TestFlight, so it can be installed on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac only.
• A stable internet connection.

The verification flow itself can be started on any device supported by WebSDK or MobileSDK. For the mobile flow, your application must use MobileSDK version 1.40.1 or later.

Get started with EUDIW verification

To start testing EUDIW Prototype:

1. Contact your Customer Success Manager to enable EUDIW Prototype in Sandbox.
2. Integrate with the Sumsub WebSDK and/or iOS MobileSDK.
3. Set up a verification level with a Non-Doc step and add Demo EU Digital Identity Wallet as a verification option for one, several, or all 27 EU countries.
4. Optionally, use Workflow Builder to redirect applicants to document-based or other Non-Doc verification in case of failure.
5. Set up a test wallet and go through the verification flow in Sandbox mode

Review EUDIW verification results

To check the verification results, navigate to the Applicant Data tab of a particular applicant who passed EUDIW verification and scroll down to the Extracted data section. The following information will be extracted during the check*:

• First name
• Last name
• Date of birth
• Nationality
• Issuing authority
• Issuing country (if available)
• Expiry date

*The outlined data scope represents a basic identity verification and KYC check scenario associated with the current Prototype version. In the EUDIW framework, each Relying Party may register and request a specific dataset per use case proven by a corresponding Legal basis; the full list of PID fields is listed in the PID rulebook (part of the EUDIW Architecture Reference Framework).
