Czechia in the EUDI ecosystem

Czechia's EUDI Wallet is currently in development. You can configure issuance and verification templates in Paradym that will work out-of the box when the wallet goes live.

Under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, every EU member state must offer citizens a European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. Czechia's national wallet will give residents a way to hold and present trusted digital credentials, starting with person identification data (PID).

Czechia already has eDoklady, an app from the Digital and Information Agency (DIA) launched in January 2024. It holds a digital copy of the national identity card for in-person checks in Czechia. DIA describes eDoklady as an intermediate step toward the EUDI Wallet, which will add features such as online identity verification.

With Paradym, you can prepare OpenID4VC issuance and verification flows for Czech PID credentials today, so your integration is ready as the national wallet ecosystem matures.

Czechia's national EUDI Wallet is being prepared by the Digital and Information Agency (DIA), which will provide the PID and the state infrastructure, while a private concessionaire chosen through a public tender will provide the wallet app. It is expected to let residents hold and present digital identity credentials under the eIDAS 2.0 framework, starting with person identification data.

Common questions

How does the EUDI Wallet work in Czechia?

Czechia, like every EU member state, must provide a European Digital Identity Wallet under eIDAS 2.0. The wallet will let residents hold and present digital credentials such as person identification data.

Can I verify Czech EUDI Wallet credentials with Paradym?

Paradym supports verification flows for EUDI-style credentials. However, end-to-end testing with the national wallet depends on that wallet being available and exposing the relevant credentials, as there is currently no available Czech wallet it is not possible to verify credentials from that wallet.

Can I issue credentials to the Czechia EUDI Wallet with Paradym?

Paradym can issue standards-compliant EUDI credentials today, but those credentials cannot currently be issued into the Czechia national wallet through a public production integration. Once Czechia opens its issuer ecosystem as part of its EUDI rollout, Paradym's issuance APIs can be used to issue credentials to Czechia wallet, subject to any national onboarding, trust framework, and certification requirements.

Do relying parties need to register to use the Czech EUDI Wallet?

Yes. Under eIDAS 2.0, a relying party that wants to rely on EUDI Wallets must register in the member state where it is established. There is currently no national register yet.
