eIDAS 2.0 Implementing Acts: A Clearer Path for Trust Service Providers

eIDAS 2.0 Implementing Acts: A Clearer Path for Trust Service Providers

With eIDAS 2.0 now in effect, Trust Service Providers across the EU are facing a complex rollout of implementing acts that define the practical application of the new regulation.

From Qualified Electronic Signatures and Seals to the upcoming EUDI Wallet ecosystem, the regulatory landscape is expanding fast—and keeping up isn’t easyTracking and interpreting the relevant updates is not easy for the industry and Cryptomathic created a consolidated reference table that maps each implementing act—drafted or adopted—to its legal citation, timeline, and official source.

The list provides:

  • Direct links to each act (draft or final)
  • Clear visibility on expected deadlines
  • Coverage across all key areas: wallets, supervision, identification, and trust services (general and specific)

We’ll continue to update the list and share deeper analysis as new acts are published.
