Finland and Bulgaria set EUDI Wallet oversight as EU deadline nears

Finland's law enabling European Digital Identity Wallets is now in force, with Traficom to supervise providers, while Bulgaria's government has named a supervisory authority but is still unlikely to meet the January 2027 deadline. Under EU rules, every member state must offer citizens a digital identity wallet by that date, yet readiness remains uneven. The rollout shows a single, EU-wide identity infrastructure being built through national law and central regulation, a structural step worth watching as identity and access become increasingly digital.
