eIDAS Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC) (adopted on 23 July 2014) (full-text).
Overview[]
The Regulation provides a predictable regulatory environment to enable secure and seamless electronic interactions between businesses, citizens and public authorities.
In this regard, the eIDAS Regulation:
- ensures that people and businesses can use their own national electronic identification schemes (eIDs) to access public services in other EU countries where eIDs are available.
- creates an European internal market for electronic trust services — namely electronic signatures, electronic seals, time stamp, electronic delivery service and website authentication — by ensuring that they will work across borders and have the same legal status as traditional paper-based processes.
