EU digital identity rules reshape event credentialing

The European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) regulation is accelerating adoption of verifiable credentials. Basetracking now issues and validates event passes that plug directly into EUDI wallets, ensuring compliance and frictionless participation.

What changes

Organisers must offer interoperable credentials, granular consent management and audit-ready logs. Basetracking’s credential fabric produces verifiable credentials (VCs) signed with EU-recognised trust anchors, automatically revocable if attendee status changes.

Attendees can retrieve their pass from EUDI wallets or fallback QR codes, while Basetracking manages consent receipts and purpose limitation.

Compliance checklist

  • • Map processing activities against GDPR, eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI wallet guidelines.
  • • Establish trust registries and DID (decentralised identifier) policies with legal review.
  • • Offer user-facing dashboards to withdraw consent or delete credentials post-event.

Technical architecture

  1. Basetracking issuer service creates VCs and publishes revocation registries.
  2. Wallets (EUDI, Apple Wallet, Verified ID) request proofs at access gates.
  3. Verifier nodes validate credential signatures, attributes and revocation status.
  4. Logs stream into compliance vaults with retention rules per EU member state.

Next steps

Basetracking will roll out cross-border interoperability tests in Q2 2026, partnering with national ID schemes in Germany, France and the Nordics. Training modules for data protection officers and event staff are available now.
