Under eIDAS 2, a "EU Digital Identity Wallet" (EUDI Wallet) is being mandated for release this year — 2026 — for use in "government services, healthcare, banking, employment, travel, and real estate."
The EU is forcing member nations to minimally "offer" it to citizens. —whether its citizens must use the EUDI wallet is up to the country, but EU's goal is 80% adoption by 2030.
