As we have highlighted, it is up to each Member State to choose one or more mechanisms proof of identity to unlock access to Wallet. Once again, therefore, SPID could be the protagonist even if the current Government seems to want to focus on CIE (even if the digital identities SPIDs provided at the end of August 2023 were almost 36 million in Europe).
