European Digital Identity Regulation (eIDAS2)
Establishes the legal framework for European Digital Identity Wallets, requiring each member state to provide at least one wallet to its citizens, residents, and businesses, and creating qualified and non qualified electronic attestations of attributes that can include a person's age, so a user can prove they exceed an age threshold without revealing their date of birth or full identity.
Adopted 11 April 2024, published in the Official Journal 30 April 2024, and entered into force 20 May 2024; member states must make a wallet available by 6 December 2026. This device level wallet credential is the framework the Commission's age verification solution is designed to integrate with.
