Italy\u2019s data protection authority has approved the country\u2019s technical and architectural plan for its national implementation of the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet.<\/p>\n
The Garante per la protezione dei dati personali says the IT-Wallet proposal complements the data protection framework already in place, referring to regulatory stipulations made in August of 2025<\/a> and 2026<\/a>. Those measures largely regard how tests of digital credentials<\/a> should be carried out and the role of governance bodies like AgID and Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato S.p.A. (IPZS<\/a>), which issues government digital credentials and acts as the system\u2019s trust anchor.<\/p>\n The draft proposal from the Department for Digital Transformation of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers is contained in provision no. 631, which was published on September 23, 2026.<\/p>\n Garante\u2019s approval notes that to stay in compliance, parties processing personal data must clearly define who is responsible for managing data rights requests by users. Organizations that are handling special category data, like biometrics, must have appropriate measures in place, and all parties should be able to show accountability and that their risk analysis and mitigation measures are compliant, even over and above the safety measures defined in the data protection impact assessment (DPIA). Requests for data deletion must be managed within the conditions and limits required for compliance.<\/p>\n The regulator did not request any changes to the draft proposal in its current form.<\/p>\n AgID joins 50-in-5 to share DPI-building experience<\/p>\n Italy\u2019s digital agency AgID has also joined the 50-in-5 campaign to share its experiences in developing and governing digital public infrastructure (DPI) and learn from those of other countries.<\/p>\n The country\u2019s experience building up DPI includes the launch of digital identity solutions SPID and CIE, as well as the PDND data protection platform, as well as its work on the IT-Wallet and public-sector big data monitoring and decision-making platform Cruscotto Italia<\/a>.<\/p>\n AgID\u2019s participation in the campaign was announced during the 50-in-5 Awards<\/a> celebration, which was held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September. Winners included Benin\u2019s ASIN, Bank Indonesia\u2019s QRIS cross-border initiative and Brazil\u2019s Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services Esther Dweck.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tArticle Topics<\/p>\n 50-in-5<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 AgID<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 data protection<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 digital ID<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 digital wallets<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 EU Digital Identity Wallet<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 IT Wallet<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tLatest Biometrics News<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 29, 2026, 1:00 pm EDT\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Indonesia\u2019s Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Ditjen Dukcapil), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, has issued a tender\u2026<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 29, 2026, 11:12 am EDT\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n An estimated 2.7 million to 3.1 million Haitian adults lack valid national identification cards, according to a new World Bank\u2026<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 29, 2026, 10:35 am EDT\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n A delegation from Cameroon\u2019s National Civil Status Registration Office (BUNEC) is visiting C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s National Civil Status and Identification Office\u2026<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 29, 2026, 10:31 am EDT\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Pakistan has selected 10 priority public services for digital delivery and tested a citizen services portal under its $78 million\u2026<\/p>\n
