The European Digital Identity Wallet will allow people to prove their identity, confirm that they are over 18 or present a diploma from a phone while sharing only the necessary data. In France, it will be developed from France Identité by France Titres, although the deployment timetable and the services available at launch remain to be confirmed. Each Member State must offer at least one wallet by the end of 2026, while the DINUM is considering a French launch in early 2027, with no official delay announced. Its use will be voluntary and free, and alternative identification methods must remain available. Credentials will be secured through cryptographic keys and electronic signatures, although risks of user tracking could remain.
