The Italian digital wallet system, IT
Wallet, will become available in the next few months. IT
Wallet is the Italian version of the EU Digital
Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet), an electronic wallet that
will contain all digital documents used to identify European
citizens. The EUDI Wallet project is part of the revamping of the
eIDAS Regulation1 introduced by the recently
approved eIDAS II.2
The provisions governing the IT Wallet were recently introduced
by Law Decree no. 19 of March 2nd, 2024 as converted
into law by Law no. 56 of April 29, 2024.
HOW IT WALLET WORKS
IT Wallet lets users store and use electronic
identification documents. There will be a public version
(available through the IO App3, which will rely on an IT
infrastructure to be developed), and private companies that
register with the Italian Digital Agency
(“AgID”) will also have the
opportunity to offer private versions of IT Wallet. Access to and
use of the public IT Wallet is free of charge
