How we check the EU country evidence

Published 2026-10-08Updated 2026-10-17By MyID Editorial

The EU Wallet Tracker compares wallet delivery and evidence across 27 countries. Its Scorecard gives each country a five-pillar evidence score; read the scoring method. An existing national login, a new wallet app and a certified EUDI wallet remain different things.

Methodology, 8 October 2026

The first release covers all 27 EU countries through selected, source-reviewed statements. It is not an exhaustive inventory of firms, law or certificates.

Directory coverage

The explorer uses a separately selected, source-reviewed set of organisation and product cards. It does not publish the complete research corpus. Country links join explicitly identified providers or brands, not companies with similar names. A shared product can have different enrolment, operating and acceptance arrangements in each country.

Smart-ID and SK country descriptions remain attributed to the provider. Signicat integration descriptions are not an independent licence or certification check. Group records remain groups, not individual companies. Programme targets are separated from completed results; the five-pillar evidence score is calculated separately under the published scorecard method.

Five questions, kept separate

  1. Law: what is enacted, and what is draft or consultation?
  2. Delivery: what has been assigned, announced, procured or built?
  3. Access: who can use a service, under what conditions?
  4. Business connection: how do issuers, operators, banks, suppliers and relying organisations connect?
  5. Use: what has been tested or reported, and is it a pilot or production?

The country sections answer only the questions supported by reviewed evidence. Uneven coverage does not mean that an unmentioned service or relationship does not exist.

What counts as evidence?

We use operative law, official programme and procurement records, certification decisions, government service documentation and first-party company material. Company statements about ownership, products or contracts stay attributed. They are not an independent company-register, security or trust-list audit.

Search results, press coverage and research handoffs help locate sources. They do not replace reading the underlying material. Each statement links its source trail. Where only a landing page was read, we do not claim to have reviewed its attached legislation or technical package.

Why the labels matter

Law establishes a legal provision, not delivery. Consultation or draft is not final law. Procurement is not an award or expenditure. An announcement or roadmap is a plan. A pilot or sandbox is not general access.

National eID assurance, qualified signing and EUDI wallet certification must not be substituted for one another. A supplier's product name, participation in a pilot or domestic service acceptance is not sufficient evidence of an issued wallet certificate.

How dates are handled

Event dates, publication dates and our source-check dates are distinct. A source checked on 8 October can describe a 2021 investment or a 2025 launch plan. Neither becomes a current ownership claim or completed rollout because it was recently read.

Volatile consultation dates were refreshed for this release. Other procurement and parliamentary records are explicitly dated snapshots checked on 8 October. A further refresh attempt for the French decision and Maltese and Cypriot procurement records did not return a usable result; the already-read same-day evidence remains dated, not a claim of exhaustive current status.

The French certification catalogue retrieved on 8 October is itself dated 15 September. It supports the expiry listed in the decision, not a finding that no subsequent renewal exists.

What happens when sources disagree?

We state the difference and avoid filling the gap by inference. That includes Bulgaria's assurance listings, Cyprus's tender dates, Ireland's SAFE and wallet-trial eligibility wording, and Finland's statutory transition alongside a 2027 launch expectation.

Unresolved claims are narrowed or omitted. Consequential interpretations about statutory deadlines, compliance, infringement, legal effect or the adequacy of certification arrangements remain open for qualified review. This comparison is information, not personalised legal or procurement advice.
