Accessibility Design Guidelines
When designing solutions for the EUDI Wallet Ecosystem, both Relying Parties (RPs) and European Accessibility Act. Providers must consider accessibility requirements that ensure their services are usable by all citizens, including those with disabilities. This document outlines the high-level accessibility frameworks and key considerations for designing accessible solutions.
Changelog
This page aggregates relevant changes in the German EUDI ecosystem for Relying Parties and EAA Issuers. Where possible, upcoming changes are listed in advance so that integrators can prepare.
Credential Design Guide
How to configure the appearance of an Electronic Attestation of Attributes (EAA) so it renders correctly and legibly in the German EUDI wallet.
Credential Lifecycle & Operations
Audience: EAA Providers running an issuance service in production. This is phase 4 of the EAA Provider roadmap — what happens after you have built and tested your issuer.
EAA Issuance with OpenID4VCI
Audience: EAA Providers implementing issuance flows with OpenID4VCI in the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem.
EAA Provider Onboarding
This guide provides EAA-specific onboarding requirements and technical integration steps for organizations that want to issue Electronic Attestations of Attributes (EAAs) in the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem.
End-to-End Example: Berlin Digital Bank
Organization Overview
Erica: Local Verifier Testing Tool
Erica is a public, lightweight, locally-runnable tool designed to help Relying Parties (RPs) accelerate their verifier development and testing. Rather than waiting for integration with the full EUDI Wallet ecosystem, you can use Erica to simulate wallet behavior and test your presentation request handling in isolation.
Example flow — High-assurance issuance with HAIP
Audience: Developers new to the EUDI Wallet Ecosystem who need to understand how high-assurance credential issuance works in practice.
Example flow — Low-fidelity event ticket issuance
Audience: Developers new to the EUDI Wallet Ecosystem who need to understand how low-assurance credential issuance works in practice.
German PID Reference for Relying Parties
This page provides a practical reference for Relying Parties integrating with the German Personal Identification Data (PID) credential. It summarizes the key technical details from the German PID Rulebook (PID-DE) that you need to understand in order to successfully request, receive, and verify a PID.
Glossary
This page defines terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used across the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem documentation. Entries are drawn from the Blueprint, the Wallet Architecture Documentation, and this Developer Guide. Each entry links to the primary source specification or regulation where applicable.
Joining the Ecosystem
Whether you plan to verify credentials (Relying Party), issue credentials (EAA Provider), or do both, you complete the same onboarding process once. During the Plan stage, simply declare all the roles you intend to fulfill in your use case description.
Logging and Monitoring
Effective logging and monitoring are critical for transparency, security, and compliance within the EUDI Wallet Ecosystem. The following guidance distinguishes between sandbox and production environments.
Open Source OpenID4VP Verifier Libraries Overview
This document provides a non-exhaustive list of open-source libraries that support OpenID4VP (OpenID for Verifiable Presentations). The list is intended as a starting point for Relying Parties exploring OpenID4VP implementations.
PID Presentations with OpenID4VP
Audience: Relying Parties implementing an OpenID4VP flow to enable the consumption of a PID credential in the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem.
Relying Party Readiness Checklist
Introduction
Relying Party Technical Integration
This guide provides Relying Party-specific requirements and technical integration steps for organizations that want to verify credentials in the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem.
Rulebooks: Adopt or Create
A rulebook is the definitive, human-readable, technical, and governance specification for a credential type. It ensures that relying parties understand exactly what a credential contains, how it's issued, and how to verify it.
Using Registrar Certificates in Presentation Requests
Audience: Relying Parties building OpenID4VP / HAIP presentation requests for the German EUDI Wallet Ecosystem.
Wallet Use Instructions
Developers testing with the National EUDI Wallet in the Sandbox should be aware of the following details, peculiarities and known bugs.
