Digital Identity for all Europeans

72% of users want to know how their data is processed when they use social media accounts. 63% of EU citizens want a secure single digital ID for all online services (Eurobarometer survey)

Practical use
The European Digital Identity can be used for any number of cases, for example:

public services such as requesting birth certificates, medical certificates, reporting a change of address
opening a bank account
filing tax returns
applying for a university, at home or in another Member State
storing a medical prescription that can be used anywhere in Europe
proving your age
renting a car using a digital driving license
checking in to a hotel
Using the European Digital Identity: applying for a bank loan
Applying for a bank loan is a process that typically includes numerous steps, from setting up appointments and having physical meetings, to collecting and signing all the paper documents - and repeating the operation if documents are missing.

By using the European Digital Identity, the user only has to select the necessary documents that are stored locally on his digital wallet to reply to the bank’s request. Then, verifiable digital documents are created and sent securely for verification to the bank, who can then continue with the application process.

Making things easier for citizens and businesses
The following identification and trust services can already be used with legal effect across the EU thanks to the trust framework created by the eIDAS Regulation. They are key tools to enable trust and security in the Digital Single Market. Some services, like eSignatures, will be integrated into the wallet to facilitate their use.
