The project builds on the work of previous European digital wallet pilot projects (NOBID, DC4EU, POTENTIAL, and EWC) and focuses on testing solutions in real-world scenarios.
APTITUDE is testing the use of the European digital wallet in four areas:
digital travel credentials and border checks
smart check-ins at hotels, ticketing for transportation, and boarding passes
mobile vehicle registration certificates and vehicle-related services
payment and banking services
Estonia joined APTITUDE in the spring of 2026. Estonia is contributing to this initiative under the leadership of the Information System Authority, in collaboration with other public sector organisations and private companies. Estonia is contributing to the testing of digital wallet solutions and the engagement of stakeholders, and is drawing on its experience in the fields of electronic identity, e-services, and cross-border digital cooperation within the project.
The project involves 117 public and private sector organisations from 13 European countries. The consortium is led by the French Ministry of the Interior.
The aim of the EUDI Wallet is to enable people to verify their identity, use digital certificates, and access public and private sector services throughout the European Union via a single secure digital wallet. APTITUDE helps to ensure that these solutions are secure, user-friendly, and function across borders in all Member States.
