More national initiatives pushing the 🇪🇺 📲 EU #Identity #Wallet. This time we want to see what's happening in the #Netherlands: ⬇ The Dutch Public ID Wallet is a collaborative initiative involving various stakeholders, including the Dutch government, ICTU (the Information and Communication Technology executive organisation), local municipalities, private sector entities, and European partners. The project is overseen by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and supported by Alexandra van Huffelen, the State Secretary for Digitalization. Purpose: The primary goal of the Dutch Public ID Wallet is to create a secure, user-friendly digital identity system based on the requirements of the eIDAS regulation, that empowers citizens to manage their personal data. This system aims to facilitate digital interactions with public and private services while enhancing privacy and security. The project also aims to reduce reliance on non-European technology companies by providing a government-backed alternative. Current Status: As of March 2024, the first working version of the ID Wallet has been released. This version includes essential functionalities like logging in with DigiD and adding personal identification cards #PID. Users can also store and manage their personal data securely within the wallet. The code and design details have been made publicly available on platforms like GitHub and Figma. (link in comments) Project Timeline 2023: Initial development and stakeholder engagement. Early design and planning phases. March 2024: Release of the first working version of the ID Wallet. 2025: Have at least one eIDAS2 compliant ID-Wallet recognised by the dutch government. 2024-2026: Extensive testing, user feedback integration, and functional enhancements. This phase includes specific use case testing, such as municipal logins and mortgage application processes. End of 2026: Expected general availability of the ID Wallet app in app stores for broader public use.
