Only Denmark and Italy Have Launched an EU Digital Identity Wallet
EU Digital Identity Wallet rollout: every EU state on one board
A tracker of all 27 EU states' digital identity wallets shows just Denmark and Italy have publicly available national wallets, and neither is EUDI-certified yet. Three countries have wallets in real users' hands, while most remain in development or procurement. Banks and other services requiring strong customer authentication must accept the wallet from 24 December 2027 under eIDAS 2, with micro and small enterprises exempt. Grades reflect published evidence, not legal compliance.

This should also indicate which EUDI wallets will require Google or Apple device attestation. My guess is all of them.
For all the talk about digital sovereignty, EU still builds the fundamental element of EU citizenship, the digital ID, on American companies. Baffling.

I've been following this for a while. The deadline for rollout for consumers is the end of this year, but I'm not sure every country is going to make it.
The idea is that every person will have the option to use a wallet. For businesses of a certain size or type (those involved in strongly authenticating their customers, or very large platforms with more than 45M EU users) have to accept it by the end of 2027.

There is a 3day old AMA of the German team talking about it (in German)

I didn't investigate further, but the italian implementation, right now, apart from the fact it requires USA attestation (Play Integrity and the likes), it's not bad at all, it's just a convenient tool to not carry paper documents when asked officially by a public official. Plus we receive official documents like fines directly there

They named the German version of this d-you. Not sure what they were thinking or why it even needed a different name. It's just confusing and a really bad name.
Edit: just noticed everyone has its own name for it? How do they envision this when traveling? Every officer needs to know the 25 different versions of this? why can't it be one app for Europe?
