Germany in the EUDI ecosystem

Germany's wallet, the national wallet in development under BMDS and SPRIND, is currently being tested in a limited access sandbox. With Paradym you can already issue credentials into the sandbox wallet and verify person identification data (PID) over OpenID4VC.

Under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, every EU member state must offer its citizens a European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. Germany is developing its national wallet under the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and State Modernization (BMDS) and SPRIND, building on the country's established eID scheme delivered through the national identity card (Personalausweis) and the AusweisApp.

d-you is available as a public sandbox with person identification data (PID) as the main credential focus. Relying Parties can submit a participation request to gain access to the sandbox to test their use case. With Paradym you can already issue credentials into the sandbox wallet and verify the German PID over OpenID4VC, so your integration is ready when the national wallet reaches production.

Common questions

How does the EUDI Wallet work in Germany?

Under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, Germany must offer its citizens a European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. Germany is building this national wallet as an official public project led by SPRIND with federal partners. It builds on the country's long-standing eID scheme, which today is delivered through the national identity card (Personalausweis) and the AusweisApp, with PID as the first major credential focus.

Can I verify d-you credentials with Paradym today?

Yes. Paradym supports verification flows for EUDI-style credentials and has tested with d-you. End-to-end testing with the national wallet is done through participation in the German EUDI sandbox. You can reach out to us if you want to discuss joint sandbox participation.

Can I issue credentials to d-you?

Yes, into the sandbox. Sandbox participants with access to d-you can already issue EAAs into the wallet using Paradym's issuance APIs. See the d-you guide. Production issuance is not yet available, once Germany opens its issuer ecosystem the same issuance flows apply, subject to any national onboarding, trust framework, and certification requirements.

Does d-you support a mobile driving licence?

Germany's current public wallet focus is on person identification data (PID). A mobile driving licence credential is not yet generally available, but Paradym can support the relevant EUDI-style credential flows as Germany adds supported credential types.

Is d-you compliant with eIDAS 2.0?

d-you is being developed to meet the eIDAS 2.0 regulation and the EU's Architecture and Reference Framework. As Germany builds on its existing eID scheme and AusweisApp, the new wallet is intended to be interoperable across EU member states and fully eIDAS 2.0 compliant once it reaches production.
