The app, which features a green-blue design with a black-red-gold stripe, is part of the EU's EUDI-Wallet project, which requires member states to provide a digital identity application. The app is set to launch on January 2, 2027, and will initially be compatible with around 40 providers, including banks, post offices, and government agencies. The digital wallet will enable users to prove their identity online and store documents such as their ID and driver's license.",
