Electronic identification (eID) enables people to prove their identity online through government- or bank-backed credentials such as chip ID cards, mobile apps, SIM-based IDs, bank IDs, and digital wallets, with businesses receiving issuer-signed identity attributes rather than relying solely on document images. Under eIDAS, EU schemes are classified at low, substantial, or high assurance levels, while the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation will permit substantial- and high-assurance eID, alongside relevant trust services, for customer verification from 10 July 2027. EU Member States must make at least one European Digital Identity Wallet available by 24 December 2026, and many regulated businesses will need to accept it by December 2027, subject to specified conditions and exemptions. eID can support privacy through selective disclosure, allowing users to share only necessary details such as confirmation of being over a certain age, but it does not independently complete due diligence because businesses may still need address verification, sanctions screening, risk assessment, or biometric checks. The material also compares eID with document-and-selfie and NFC chip-reading methods, describes adoption of prominent national systems, and presents Didit’s offering of several live European eID integrations with document verification as a fallback.
