taly has announced the launch of its iteration of the EU Digital Identity Wallet scheme, the IT-Wallet, allowing residents to digitise their identity documents through a single application. Passed in 2023 regardless of criticisms from privacy specialists informing about a potential expansion in surveillance and security risks, the EU Digital Identity Wallet scheme aims to deliver a safe, reliable, and secure option for digital identification for every individual in Europe. In addition, the EU Commission adopted regulations governing the technical functionalities and certification of the EU Digital Identity Wallets in November 2024, including five implementing laws intended to ensure interoperability, security, and privacy across the region. These included uniform technical standards, privacy-focused design, and certification frameworks.
