Ecosystem Vision & Fundamentals

What is the Wallet?

The EUDI Wallet is your personal digital wallet for identity data and credentials. It works according to a simple principle: all credentials are securely stored directly on your own smartphone and are only shared by you when needed. You remain in full control at all times, as only the absolutely necessary information is disclosed. There is no central storage of your personal data — everything stays in your hands. The wallet serves as a modern complement to your existing physical documents and will be usable across Europe in the future.
