What isn’t publicly confirmed

What isn't publicly confirmed

  • Supplier/signed contract for the €6.5m EDIM project
  • Enacted EUDI-specific legislative amendments
  • Issued wallet certificate and conformity-assessment body
  • Commission wallet notification and provider listing
  • Exact public release date and onboarding rules
  • Production relying-party register and WRPAC/WRPRC issuance

Why it matters for Ireland

A small state with mature eID still running a separate, funded wallet programme on the exact EU date; Irish relying parties should wait for the Latvian certificate before assuming acceptance.
