Estonia’s national digital identity system has been established for many years, and now that the European Commission plans to bring in a European Digital Identity in the form of a mobile app, the country is well ahead and planning further.
The system can provide interesting use cases. For example, if Facebook wants age verification, the digital wallet should be enough to prove it. Part of this plan for the European Digital Decade is to reach 100% online provision of key public services and 80% uptake of digital ID solutions. Each EU country will develop a separate digital wallet app for citizens, according to the Commission.
