Maintain Assurance Level “Substantial” in eIDAS Article 24 No. 1 Until EUDI Wallets Have Received a Certain Level of Usage! Transition Without Interruption

Position Papers · April 4, 2023

As eIDAS 2.0 enters trilogue, ESD proposes a pragmatic transition from Level of Assurance “substantial” to “high”. Rather than discontinuing widely used identification methods immediately, ESD calls for “substantial” to remain available until the EUDI Wallet at LoA “high” reaches a defined level of uptake. This would safeguard uninterrupted access to qualified trust services while enabling a gradual transition to the new framework.
