Austria states 'end-2026' with no specific day; not shown as postponed, but not a precise commitment either.

Unknown means not publicly confirmed. It is not a finding that a deadline was missed.

What isn’t publicly confirmed

What isn't publicly confirmed

  • Legally designated wallet and PID provider
  • Enacted EUDI-specific Austrian law
  • Issued wallet certificate and Commission listing
  • Exact public release date and pilot access
  • Production relying-party register and access certificates
  • Whether 'no external providers' position changed later in 2026

Why it matters for Ireland

A mature eID state upgrading its existing app rather than building new; same path open to Ireland's MyGovID, with the same gap between national eID and certified wallet.
