Jumio Helps Businesses in EU and Beyond Navigate eIDAS 2.0 Deadline

With Jumio, businesses can stay ahead of regulatory changes while offering users a faster, easier, and more compliant way to verify identities online

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jumio, the leader in AI-powered identity intelligence anchored in biometric authentication, automation and data-driven insights, today announced its support for eIDAS-compliant electronic IDs in 16 European countries, enabling users to verify their identity seamlessly using their national eIDs through Jumio’s web and mobile SDKs.

eIDAS is the European Union’s legislation that oversees eIDs, authentication and trust services for electronic transactions in the EU’s internal market. By 2026, eIDAS 2.0 requires every EU member state to make digital identity wallets available to their citizens. And by 2027, certain regulated businesses in industries such as banking, telecommunications, healthcare, energy, and education, as well as very large online platforms (VLOPs) will be required to accept these wallets in their customer interactions.

Even businesses that are not mandated to accept EU digital identity wallets are quickly moving to accept them to gain a competitive advantage, especially in online gambling and e-commerce.

By supporting all eIDAS-compliant eIDs now, Jumio enables its customers to stay ahead of upcoming regulatory changes while offering consumers a faster, easier, and more official way to verify their identities online. Jumio already accepts eIDs from over a dozen EU countries that have issued their eIDs and digital wallets in advance of the 2026 deadline, and will continue to support other countries as their eIDs and digital wallets become available.

Most identity providers only support eIDs from a limited number of countries, lack accreditation in others, and often require customers to go through lengthy, country-specific accreditation processes, treating eIDs as standalone document checks. Jumio, by contrast, has already completed these accreditation processes on behalf of its customers, delivering broad, multi-country eID support. Jumio further enriches these signals with biometrics, historical verifications, and fraud intelligence to confirm the real person behind the credential.

“This is a big step forward in Jumio’s evolution toward identity intelligence, expanding digital identity with authoritative data to help businesses verify smarter and decide with confidence,” said Philipp Pointner, Jumio’s chief of digital identity. “By enabling customers to accept eIDs and digital wallets without needing to complete the accreditation process themselves, we’re providing them with fast, compliant onboarding based on official government identity data. This, in turn, reduces fraud risk, improves conversion rates, and positions these businesses as adopters of trusted national eID programs.”
