On 29 June 2023, the EU Council Presidency and European Parliament representatives reached a provisional political agreement on the core elements of a new framework for a European digital identity (eID).

The proposed eID framework is dubbed 'eIDAS 2', as it amends the 2014 regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS regulation), which laid the foundations for safely accessing public services and carrying out transactions online and across borders in the EU.

The proposal requires member states to issue a digital wallet built on common technical standards.

A key consideration behind the eID regulation is to create a European digital identity wallet which will function both as a wallet, and as a method of identification in its own right.
