Prepare for EUDI Wallet credentials in the Netherlands

Netherlands in the EUDI ecosystem

The Dutch EUDI Wallet is currently in development and testing some closed use-cases. The NL Wallet has public code, docs and design material, with use cases such as age proof, government identity checks, diploma sharing, ID card and driving licence expected as the ecosystem matures.

Under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, every EU member state must offer citizens a European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. In the Netherlands this is the NL Wallet, built by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) as an open public implementation with GitHub, documentation and design material available.

With Paradym you can prepare issuance and verification of person identification data and future Dutch wallet credentials over OpenID4VC today. That lets you build and test your integration now, so you are ready as the NL Wallet moves toward broader public availability.

Common questions

How does the EUDI Wallet work in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands is building the NL Wallet, its national European Digital Identity Wallet under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation. It is led by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) and is publicly developed through open code, documentation and design material.

What is the NL Wallet and who runs it?

The NL Wallet is the official Dutch EUDI Wallet. It is developed as an open-source reference implementation under the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK), with Logius and RvIG involved in its delivery. It builds on the Netherlands' existing eID context, where DigiD is already widely used for government and healthcare logins.

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

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

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

Is the NL Wallet compliant with eIDAS 2.0?

The NL Wallet is being built to meet the requirements of the eIDAS 2.0 regulation and the EUDI Wallet Architecture and Reference Framework. As an open-source reference implementation in pilot, it is aligned with these standards while the final certified version is prepared.
