Why identity wallets need NFC identity verification

Europe is currently buzzing over the upcoming digital identity wallets as part of the amended eIDAS regulation. EU digital identity wallets have the potential to provide a safe, reliable, and private means of digital identification for everyone in Europe.

At Identity Week 2025, Wil Janssen explained why any trusted wallet eco-system needs to leverage your chipped identity document: to onboard your identity into the wallet, to recover your wallet if you get a new phone, and to get your face image as an attribute into the wallet.
