Finnish Police to Issue Digital ID in EU Wallet in 2027

Finland's National Police Board will become the first issuer of an official credential in the Suomi.fi Wallet, the country's EU Digital Identity Wallet implementation under eIDAS 2. The launch is targeted for 2027, past the EU's December 24, 2026 deadline. The credential will be legally valid ID within Finland but not a travel document, and will support selective disclosure via SD-JWT.
