Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS 2.0)
The European Digital Identity Framework, commonly called eIDAS 2.0, amends the original eIDAS Regulation. It has applied since 20 May 2024. The framework covers electronic identification, EU Digital Identity Wallets, electronic attestations of attributes, and trust services such as electronic signatures, seals, and time stamps.
The framework is supported by implementing regulations and technical standards. Implementing regulations have been adopted across 2024, 2025, and 2026. The current EU Digital Identity Wallet Architecture and Reference Framework reflects the implementing regulations adopted so far.
Qualified status applies to specific qualified trust services. It is not required for every organization participating in the eIDAS ecosystem. Subst.iD B.V., which operates Ver.iD, has selected five trust services for its qualification program. See the QTSP page for the selected services and roadmap.
