Ireland in the EUDI ecosystem

Ireland's EUDI Wallet is currently in development, with the Government Digital Wallet in a closed pilot ahead of a wider public release.

Under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, every EU member state must offer citizens a European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. Ireland's route is the Government Digital Wallet, which is in a closed pilot ahead of a wider public release. It is expected to support credentials such as driving licence, cross-border sharing, authentication and legal signing. The Irish National EUDI Wallet is built on the open-source Credo framework.

With Paradym, you can prepare OpenID4VC issuance and verification flows for Irish wallet credentials today, so your integration is ready as the Government Digital Wallet matures.

Common questions

How does the EUDI Wallet work in Ireland?

Ireland is developing the Government Digital Wallet under eIDAS 2.0. It is being piloted with a limited group of test users and is not yet generally available, but the wallet is expected to support credentials such as driving licence, authentication, cross-border sharing and legal signing.

Can I verify Irish 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 Irish wallet it is not possible to verify credentials from that wallet.

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

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

Do relying parties need to register to use the Government Digital Wallet?

Yes. The Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation says relying parties will have to register and declare the minimum set of attributes their service needs, which is bound to their wallet registration certificate. In July 2026 Ireland was still defining its relying party registration policy, and the Department hoped to begin testing with external organisations later in 2026. It advises organisations to register their interest with the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, which leads the implementation of the Regulation.
