European digital identity in context

The initiative for the development of ID Austria is part of a larger trend towards digital identities in Europe. On November 8, 2023, the EU Commission, the EU Parliament and the Council of the European Union decided to create new regulations for creating a European digital identity (Eudi) as part of a trilogue process. Among other things, these regulations introduce new trust services that enable the qualified electronic certification of attributes (Qeaa).

With the Eudi Wallet, for example, evidence of university degrees or the right to carry a vehicle should be provided digitally. This will significantly simplify the way in which citizens interact and use services. Each EU member country is obliged to offer such a digital identity by the end of 2026-a goal that also synergates with the introduction of ID Austria.

Digitization is therefore progressing quickly not only in Austria, but also at European level. The developments around ID Austria and the Eudi reflect the endeavors to make access to important services more safely and more efficient and at the same time to maintain data protection.
