Comparison
EUDI wallet vs. Swiss E-ID
Both are state-anchored digital identities and equivalent identity roots for mandates. The EUDI wallet is the wallet EU member states must provide under eIDAS 2.0; the Swiss E-ID is Switzerland's counterpart under the E-ID Act (popular vote 2025).
| Dimension | EUDI wallet (EU) | Swiss E-ID |
|---|---|---|
| Legal basis | eIDAS 2.0 (EU regulation) | Federal Act on the E-ID (CH) |
| Obligation to provide | Every member state by the end of 2026 | Confederation; trust infrastructure H1 2027, E-ID date open (FOJ, 30.06.2026) |
| Acceptance obligation | Large platforms, regulated sectors | Authorities; voluntary for the private sector |
| Format world | ARF: SD-JWT VC, OID4VC | Compatible VC standards |
| Role in Mandact | Identity anchor eudi | Identity anchor ch_eid |
Verdict
For mandates the answer is «both»: DACH business needs the E-ID for Switzerland and the EUDI wallet for Germany and Austria. Mandact treats them as equal anchors of the same chain of trust.
