Ukraine has adopted Resolution No689 detailing the technical requirements for the implementation of the EU Digital Identity Wallet. Together with the European Union, Ukraine has updated the joint working plan to create a wallet, omitting payments functions. Citizens and legal persons will be able to store ID documents and ID data to access public services, open bank accounts or register SIM cards in both the UK and Ukraine.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation team continues to work on the provision of the wallet, which must be compliant with high-trust security requirements.
Ukraine is monitoring the EU’s decisions on legislation such as the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act and facilitate the the mutual recognition of trust services under eIDAS 2.0.
“Given our fruitful cooperation on electronic ID in the past, the next logical step will be to facilitate the implementation of the commission’s decision on mutual recognition of trust services under eIDAS 2.0 (an updated version of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification, authentication and trust services in the European Union). It expands and modernizes the previous eIDAS regulation (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services), adopted in 2014,” said Fedorov.
