EU has finalized digital identity wallet deal

The European Union (EU) has finalized the digital identity wallet agreement, allowing the implementation of the digital identity wallet project throughout the EU. This agreement is based on the digital identity agreement reached in June and aims to expand access to government and private services using simple applications. However, the agreement still requires approval from the European Parliament and all its members. If approved, member states will have to provide their citizens with the EU digital identity wallet within 24 months after the implementation bill for the EU digital identity wallet technical specifications is formulated.
