What EU eIDAS Regulation 2014/910 -- Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Digital Transactions requires

Regulation (EU) 2014/910 (eIDAS) establishes the EU legal framework for electronic identification and trust services. Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures under Article 25(2) and must be based on a qualified certificate for electronic signatures held on a qualified electronic signature creation device (QESCD). Qualified Electronic Seals (QeSeal) under Article 35 enjoy a presumption of data integrity and authenticity for legal persons. Qualified Time Stamps (QTS) under Article 41 are presumed accurate as to the date and time they indicate. Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) must be audited every 24 months by accredited conformity assessment bodies under Article 20(1) and are listed on national EU Trusted Lists published under Article 22. Cross-border mutual recognition of notified electronic identification schemes is mandatory under Article 6: a relying party accepting eID at a given assurance level (low, substantial, high) in one Member State must accept notified schemes from all other Member States at the same or higher level. eIDAS 2.0 - Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 - introduces the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet): Member States must provide a free EUDI Wallet to all natural persons and legal entities by 26 May 2026; relying parties in 17 mandatory use cases (banking, government services, mobile driving licences, qualified electronic signatures) must accept the EUDI Wallet; Wallets operate at high assurance level and must comply with the Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF).
