Stay informed about digital identity verification, eIDAS compliance, and best practices for European businesses.
As of late May 2026 the official EU trusted-entity lists are not published: the eIDAS Dashboard reports WRPAC as unpublished and the providers list is not publicly served. Here is why that is by design, and what it changes for your December 2026 planning.
Luxembourg is active at policy and pilot level — Data Strategy Action 32, the POTENTIAL pilot via the Ministry for Digitalisation and CTIE, a wallet due by end-2026 — but there is still no public WRPAC provider, registry, or relying-party registration portal. Here is the status for a Luxembourg-established relying party.
A late-May 2026 snapshot of EUDI Wallet readiness across all 27 Member States, with a second column the April scorecard lacked: the WRPAC path. Readiness is attributed to ecosystem trackers; the WRPAC answer is uniform — no public, verifiable production path anywhere yet.
On 29 April 2026 the Commission urged member states to deploy a white-label EU age-verification app integrated with EUDI Wallets. Within 48 hours Germany, Ireland, France, Poland, and Estonia signalled they would not. The fragmentation is now a Council process — and a merchant integration problem.
The 27 April Bitkom survey reframes the rollout. Intent is high; activated credentials are not. 57% of Germans have never used the eID online function, and the bottleneck for January 2027 is no longer awareness — it is the working-credential gap. What that changes for merchants.
Five questions that separate merchants ready for January 2027 from merchants who are about to lose Q1 to integration debt. Score yourself.
Europe's largest EUDI Wallet pilot, with 140 organisations across 19 countries, closed in September 2025. The lessons relying parties should internalise before December 2026.
Ireland is on track for an end-2026 wallet launch and has opened public opt-in testing. The age-assurance debate it is shaping will set the tone for every age-restricted business in the EU.
EU Digital Identity Wallet readiness across all 27 member states. Who has a live wallet, who has a public sandbox, who is still behind, and when you can verify customers from each country.

On 28–29 April 2026, Bitkom hosts the eIDAS Summit in Berlin and online. Here is what relying parties and merchants should track from a now-sector-led agenda.
A Bitkom survey from April 2026 finds 52% of Germans have never heard of the EUDI Wallet. Eight months before launch, here is how merchants should bridge the awareness gap.
Three bugs found in the EU age verification app within 24 hours of launch. That is exactly how open-source public infrastructure should work — and so should verifiers.
The Commission's new regulation on EUDI Wallet enrolment explained. What 'LoA substantial + additional procedures = high' means, and what verifiers should expect.
A researcher claimed the EU age verification app can be bypassed in 2 minutes. What actually happened — and what merchants and verifiers should really worry about.
