EUDI relying-party registration in Ireland

An organisation intending to request data from an EUDI Wallet for a digital service must register in the Member State where it is established and declare its identity, contact details, intended use and requested data. Irish procedure and operational tooling should be treated as implementation-dependent until officially published.

For: Irish relying-party legal, compliance, product and architecture teams. This is independent information, not legal, compliance or security advice.

What the Regulation establishes

• Registration occurs in the Member State where the relying party is established.
• The relying party supplies authentication information, contact details and intended wallet use.
• The registration identifies data the relying party intends to request.
• The relying party must not request wallet data beyond that declaration.
• Registered information must be maintained when circumstances change.

What registration is not

The Regulation describes a cost-effective, proportionate-to-risk process and says registration is not a general pre-authorisation of the relying party's underlying business. Registration also does not replace GDPR duties, sector licensing, KYC governance or a lawful basis for processing.

Prepare before the Irish portal exists

1. Inventory wallet use cases and legal entities.
2. Reduce each use case to the minimum attributes needed.
3. Write a precise purpose for each attribute.
4. Map controllers, processors and recipients.
5. Prepare technical identity, contact and change-management records.
6. Design a process preventing undeclared attribute requests.

Open Irish questions to monitor

• Which body maintains the Irish relying-party register?
• How will authentication certificates or equivalent mechanisms be issued?
• How will changes, suspensions and withdrawals be handled?
• Will sector regulators add evidence requirements?
• How will cross-border relying parties and groups manage registration?
