About the Ecosystem¶
The German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem is part of the European Digital Identity initiative under eIDAS 2.0. It enables secure, privacy-preserving digital identity verification across public and private services.
Current Status: The Sandbox environment of the ecosystem is available, with the production environment to follow at a later stage. In the Sandbox, the PID (Person Identification Data) functionality is available for testing and integration.
Who Should Use This Guide?¶
- Providers of digital services seeking secure user verification
- Public sector organizations modernizing citizen services
- Private sector companies requiring identity or attribute verification
- Technical teams responsible for integration and implementation
Key Concepts¶
Relying Party (RP)
An organization that verifies digital credentials presented by users through their EUDI Wallet.
EUDI Wallet
A secure digital identity wallet that allows European citizens to store and share verified credentials.
PID (Person Identification Data)
Core identity credentials issued by trusted authorities, initially the primary credential type available in the sandbox.
Getting Support¶
Participation in the sandbox is free of charge. The ecosystem follows a self-service-first support model with comprehensive documentation, shared communication channels, and structured guidance.
For detailed information about available support resources, see the Sandbox Support Resources Overview.
Important Notes¶
Sandbox Environment
The ecosystem is under constant development. Solutions developed in the sandbox today may require modifications before entering the production environment when it becomes available.
Initial Functionality
The sandbox initially launches with PID functionality only. Therefore, PID-related use cases will be prioritized for support in the earliest stages.
