eIDAS - Open European Digital Borders - 29th September 2018

Electronic identities are crucial components of the Digital Single Market within the European Member States. 29th September 2018 will be an important day and a great step forward for all European Citizens - and for all European Small Businesses. The Red Tape and administrative hinders will be less when it comes to support digital business and will also mean a lot to obtain the open inner market, not at least when it comes to tenders and procurement.

There are still, just 4 month before the take off, a lot of activities going on and development of systems to support this opportunity that eIDAS means.

This is how to do it

This page is for public or private online service providers wanting to learn more about integration with the eIDAS Network in their country. For public service providers, there is an obligation under the eIDAS Regulation to do so by 29 September 2018. For private service providers, there are a number of compelling benefits to doing so.
It is important to note that the specific integration process and activities conducted will differ depending on the situation in your country (eIDAS-Node infrastructure and eID schemes in use), as well as the specific needs of your organisation. The information on this page is therefore indicative only, designed to give you an idea of the sort of activities you can expect to undertake. 
You must contact your Single Point of Contact before beginning the process, as they will support you according to your organisation's specific context. 
You can also check with your national member in the European Digital SME Alliance.
