EU Digital Identity Wallet Moves to Certification Phase by December 2026

The European Union's Digital Identity Wallet framework has reached version 3.0, shifting from development to conformance testing and certification ahead of a December 2026 operational deadline across all member states. This marks a critical milestone in the rollout of a unified digital identity system covering hundreds of millions of Europeans, enabling governments and private relying parties to verify and access personal data through a single wallet. Scripture warns of a coming global system requiring identification to buy, sell, and participate in society — a infrastructure of this scale and integration is precisely the kind of mechanism through which such control could be exercised (Revelation 13:16-17).
