The identity verification solutions that are already aligned with eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Wallet include GBG, IDnow, Signaturit Group and Vidos.
As Europe transitions toward eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet), organisations must adopt identity verification solutions that support wallet-based credentials, remote identity proofing standards, and trusted interoperability frameworks.
These solutions help businesses modernise onboarding, strengthen fraud prevention, and prepare for the 2026–2027 regulatory deadlines surrounding wallet acceptance.
When evaluating identity providers for wallet-aligned onboarding and authentication, prioritise the following:
Look for compatibility with:
Ensure support for multilingual, multi-market identity schemes and localisation options.
“The key is simplicity: one API that gives you everything you need, so you can build smooth UX flows without juggling multiple integrations.” – Darren Neil, KYC Solution Specialist at GBG
GBG’s identity platform supports the acceptance of government-issued, bank-issued, and mobile wallet credentials, enabling organisations to authenticate users in real time through a single integration. The platform is designed to interoperate with national eID systems and EUDI Wallet credentials.
Key features:
GBG also integrates with digital credential ecosystems (e.g., Verifiable Credential providers) to support evolving eIDAS 2.0 requirements and cross-border identity journeys.
IDnow’s certified platform is engineered for regulated sectors requiring strong security controls and readiness for EUDI Wallet credential acceptance.
Supported verification methods:
The platform includes robust biometric integrity checks, injection-attack prevention, and anti-deepfake measures – key capabilities as remote onboarding becomes a high-risk target for fraud.
Signaturit Group (including Universign and Validated ID) supports both remote onboarding and wallet-based authentication, helping organisations adopt eIDAS 2.0-compliant workflows without custom infrastructure buildout.
Capabilities:
As a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), the group provides legally recognised trust services aligned with EU regulations.
Vidos enables organisations to validate multiple digital credential formats without building verification logic internally. The platform is aligned with the technical framework of Regulation (EU) 2024/1183.
Capabilities:
This makes Vidos a strong fit for organisations that want fast compliance and wallet interoperability.
eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet will redefine how individuals authenticate across public services, finance, mobility, healthcare, and cross-border digital services. Adopting wallet-ready verification now ensures:
Alignment with eIDAS 2.0 means that the solution supports the updated EU standards for remote identity proofing, credential verification, and trust services. This typically includes compliance with ETSI TS 119 461 for high-assurance identity proofing, interoperability with EUDI Wallet credentials, strong biometric integrity checks, and support for verifiable, tamper-resistant digital attributes.
The EUDI Wallet allows users to store and share verified identity attributes, such as name, age, or professional qualifications, directly from a secure mobile wallet. For onboarding, this reduces friction, improves assurance levels, and enables selective disclosure, meaning users can prove only what is necessary (e.g., age) without sharing full ID documents.
The regulation supports multiple identity proofing methods, including:
These methods must meet defined assurance levels and pass integrity checks such as liveness detection and fraud-attack resistance.
ETSI TS 119 461 is the EU’s reference standard for secure, remote identity proofing. Certification against this standard confirms that a provider’s verification methods – biometrics, document checking, fraud detection, and audit controls – meet the requirements for high-assurance identity verification under eIDAS 2.0. It is also foundational for supporting EUDI Wallet acceptance.
Key evaluation criteria include credential format support (W3C VC, ISO 18013-5, OpenID4VP), certification status, fraud-prevention capabilities, wallet interoperability, ease of integration, privacy-preserving verification, and cross-border coverage. Businesses should also assess whether the solution supports fallback flows when users cannot present a wallet-based credential.
