APTITUDE – French government digital identity initiative
19 Mar 2026
Digital identity and wallets in travel
Since October 2025, the second wave of LSPs to test EUDI wallets has been launched. Among them, APTITUDE (led by 11 member states and Ukraine) will continue to explore a user-centered approach. Four key use cases are being examined: 1) Digital travel credentials (DTC) to streamline border control and travel document management; 2) Tickets and check-in for transportation, accommodation and tourism, with potential student card integration; 3) electronic vehicle registration certificate (mVRC) enabling shared vehicle use for personal or professional purposes; 4) Payment wallet, integrating payments and strong customer authentication (SCA) to enhance security for banking.
