A digital ID is a smartphone-based credential that proves a person’s identity. It is often stored in a user’s digital wallet and is issued and verified by trusted entities such as national governments, local or state governments, financial institutions, or by private identity companies. Some examples include eIDs issued by European Union countries and mDLs (mobile driver’s licenses) issued by state governments in the United States.

Digital IDs: frequently asked questions
What are Digital IDs?
How many people have Digital IDs?
Digital ID adoption is accelerating worldwide. Some countries, like Estonia, require digital IDs by law, while others, including India and China, operate large-scale programs reaching most citizens. Elsewhere, people are choosing them because they make their digital lives easier. It is currently estimated that 2.5 billion people worldwide hold a Digital ID.
How do Digital IDs support regulatory compliance?
Digital IDs support businesses in navigating an evolving regulatory landscape. The European Union’s eIDAS 2.0 is the clearest example of how regulation may enable adoption and acceptance at scale. It sets defined assurance levels and cross-border recognition in Member States, with the European Digital Identity Wallet mandate requiring regulated businesses to accept these credentials soon.
