It&#8217;s slow, prone to fraud, and inconvenient.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why using <b>government issued digital IDs (eIDs) becomes the new standard<\/b>. It provides better conversion, instant approval, and is government-accepted.<\/p>\n<p>In the EU, eIDAS 2.0 targets 80% adoption of eIDs by 2030. Gartner projects 500+ million smartphone users will use digital identity wallets by 2026. To leverage this growing number of eIDs in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> and worldwide, companies must choose: direct or indirect integration.<\/p>\n<p><b>The challenges of direct integration<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Direct eID integration means connecting to each national system (e.g. 27+ in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>). However, in the process there are three major challenges:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Administrative<\/b>: It&#8217;s a hard and costly process to get access to eIDs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Technical<\/b>: All eIDs are different, it&#8217;s a technical effort.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cultural<\/b>: Hard to know and understand different formats and acceptance of credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With eIDAS 2.0 enforcement approaching, no doubt this strategy might become challenging for organizations.<\/p>\n<p><b>The scalable path of indirect integration<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Indirect integration is a strong alternative to direct integration. Intermediaries, <b>defined under eIDAS 2.0 ARF<\/b>, act as a gateway offering a single access point to national eIDs. But the devil lies in the details: not all intermediaries are equal. When choosing an intermediary, companies should evaluate <b>eIDs and wallet coverage, UX flexibility, and IDV compatibility<\/b>.
