Digital identity firm eID Easy has published an updated snapshot of EU Digital Identity Wallet readiness that looks past whether a country has announced or launched a national wallet to how open each project is for outside organizations to test and integrate with.
The tracker, dated July 2, classifies national wallet efforts by how accessible they are to relying parties, the businesses and services that will eventually request and verify wallet-based identity data. The company says its categories reflect whether an organization can test a wallet, whether there is a public sandbox, whether developer materials are available, and whether there is a clear path to integration. eID Easy, which is building a hub to connect relying parties to wallets alongside national electronic IDs and bank-based identity schemes, maintains the snapshot through its provider relationships manager, John Jolliffe.
The July update flags several concrete developments. Denmark is singled out as a clear mover, with its AltID wallet having launched in production on June 3, giving users a national digital wallet for identity and proofs along with test access for organizations, though eID Easy notes its relying-party registry is not yet an eIDAS 2.0 registry. Ireland was reclassified because its public pilot is citizen-facing rather than a relying-party sandbox, and Spain was moved to an announced-project category, with its Cartera Digital treated as the wallet implementation and its national eID products treated as identity sources rather than the wallet itself.
The update also adds the EEA EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway to the tracker, and keeps France, Germany, and Switzerland among the most testable, citing public sandbox or developer activity. eID Easy notes that France Identité is live as a national identity app but not yet certified as an EU wallet, and that Germany’s wallet is in sandbox testing ahead of a staged public rollout expected in early 2027.
The snapshot lands as member states work toward an end-of-2026 deadline to offer certified wallets, a rollout advancing unevenly across countries, as seen when Denmark selected Signicat to support its digital identity wallet and when Germany launched an EUDI Wallet sandbox for testing.
