Dutch Certification Schemes for EUDI Wallets
The Netherlands is establishing a national certification system for European Digital Identity Wallets (EUDI Wallets) (NL-SYS-01 §2, p. 8). Its certification target is the European Digital Identity Wallets and the electronic identification scheme under which they are provided (NL-SYS-01 cover, p. 2). NL-TL calls that national eID scheme the stelsel: Wallet Providers seek admission to it (NL-TL §2, p. 7). This section explains how the Dutch certification system for EUDI Wallets works and what it requires. You can search every requirement, read the full text of each document and download the original PDFs.
Everything here is based on the draft documents published on 6 November 2026. Each statement links to the section and page of the PDF it comes from.
The documents are release candidates: drafts that were published for feedback. Version 1 of the schemes is expected later (see status and feedback). This section is an independent guide maintained by Yivi. It is not an official publication. If anything here differs from the PDFs, the PDFs apply.
In short
-
What is certified: the European Digital Identity Wallets and the electronic identification scheme under which they are provided. This is the certification target of the system as a whole (NL-SYS-01 cover, p. 2).
-
On what basis: the system is established to certify EUDI Wallets for compliance with eIDAS (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183). It will demonstrate compliance with the certification rules of Article 5c of eIDAS and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2981 (NL-SYS-01 §2, p. 8).
-
Who owns it: the Minister of Economic Affairs, in close concertation with the Minister of the Interior. The Minister owns both the system and the top-level scheme (NL-SYS-01 §3.1.1–3.1.2, p. 9).
-
How it works: three subordinate certifications produce their own certificates:
- functional certification of the Wallet Solution (NL-FS);
- cybersecurity certification of the Wallet Solution (NL-CS);
- certification of the Wallet Provider and the PID Provider (NL-P-W and NL-P-P).
A top-level certificate under NL-TL combines them. It is issued per Wallet Provider (NL-SYS-01 §1, p. 6). It can only be issued if the PID Provider and the Wallet Provider both have an active certificate, and the Wallet Provider demonstrates that it meets the national admission conditions set in national law (NL-SYS-01 §1, p. 7).
-
Who assesses: conformity assessment bodies (CABs), accredited by the National Accreditation Body, carry out the evaluations, tests and audits (NL-SYS-01 §3.1.4–3.1.5, p. 10) (NL-SYS-01 §3.1.6, p. 11). For the top-level certificate, the CAB issues the certification decision and the certificate (NL-TL §6.2.1, p. 11).
