IDnow Wallet

IDnow Wallet is a digital identity solution launched in 2021 by IDnow GmbH that implements Self-Sovereign Identity principles through open standards. The wallet is built on core technologies including W3C Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), and OpenID Connect, with data secured in the smartphone's secure element.

The platform enables users to store and manage various types of verified credentials and identity documents while maintaining control over their personal data through a zero-knowledge architecture. Key technical features include:

• Integration with eIDAS 2.0 standards for European digital identity
• Biometric authentication using fingerprint and facial recognition
• Support for both low-level verification (age checks) and high-assurance verification (bank accounts)
• Secure storage of credentials in the device's hardware security module
• Cross-border interoperability through open standards

IDnow has established notable partnerships and integrations, including joining the OpenWallet Foundation and IDunion consortium to help develop interoperable digital identity infrastructure. The company works with various European regulatory bodies and has obtained certifications as a Qualified Trust Service Provider under eIDAS. The wallet is positioned as part of the broader European digital identity ecosystem, with a focus on compliance with emerging regulations while maintaining user privacy and security.
