What's New with EU Regulation 2024/1183?

The European Union 's eIDAS regulation, formally established as EU Regulation 2014/914, has been instrumental in setting the standards for electronic identification and trust services across the EU.

While eIDAS 2 will enter into force on May 20, 2024, this date marks the beginning of a phased implementation period. Member States will have various deadlines to fully adopt and apply the new measures, ensuring a gradual and structured integration of the updated digital identity standards.

2. Easier Access Across Countries: This regulation makes it smoother for you to use your digital ID to get services in any EU country without all the hassle that used to come with it.
3. Better Protection of Your Data: eIDAS 2 introduces more stringent regulations to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your personal information.
