German Implementation Strategy for EUDI Wallet (netzpolitik.org)

• Digital Ministry asserts control over the legislative framework for the EUDI wallet.
• Wallet to combine official identification with digital payment capabilities.
• Expansion of digital ID services to minors (12+) for age-restricted access.

"The Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs is leading the rollout of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet in Germany. The draft legislation outlines a multifunctional platform for identification and payments. Notably, the framework includes provisions for minors as young as 12 to use the wallet for age verification, signaling a push for comprehensive digital integration of public life."
