Against the EU baseline: 24 Dec 2026

after

2 Jan 2027 is after the 24 Dec 2026 baseline, and the first version lacks pseudonymous use per BfDI.

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

  • Enactment date of the Digital Identities Act
  • Provider-model decision and PID appointment
  • Full-EUDI delivery date beyond initial launch
  • Certificate, assessor and Commission listing
  • Production RP register and certificates
  • Minimum age (bill vs FAQ) and EU eID-Karte support

Why it matters for Ireland

Germany ships a state-built app two weeks after the EU deadline with reduced scope; Irish firms can already request German sandbox access to test interoperability.
