Italy's IT-Wallet: AgID opens registration and testing for public and private operators
On 23 October 2026 AgID published the rules for joining Italy's IT-Wallet and its testing space. Public bodies must join by 3 August 2027.
On 23 October 2026 the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID) published version 1.0 of its regulation for registering with the IT-Wallet system, Italy's national digital wallet, and for taking part in its testing space. It builds on the decree of 19 March 2026, published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale on 3 August 2026, which started the system.
What changed
- Who can register: providers of private IT-Wallet solutions, providers of electronic attestations of attributes, verifiers, aggregators and holders of authentic sources. The Poligrafico (IPZS) keeps the register and issues the personal identification data; PagoPA provides the public wallet.
- Security duties: registered operators must process IT-Wallet data on infrastructure located in the EU, monitor their systems continuously and manage incidents. AgID can suspend or revoke a registration.
- How to apply: through the IPZS onboarding portal. Until it is fully running, the application form must be signed by the legal representative with a qualified electronic signature or a firma digitale and sent by certified email (PEC). Registration becomes effective only after the technical validation tests.
- Testing space: to test functions not yet covered by the rules, operators submit a project, which AgID assesses together with the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN) and the Department for Digital Transformation.
Key dates
- 3 August 2026: the public IT-Wallet started with a gradual release of features, and public and private bodies could begin to register.
- 3 August 2027: all public administrations must have joined as holders of authentic sources, within twelve months of the decree's publication.
- The decree keeps the essential features free of charge for citizens.
The decree does not deal with electronic signatures. Under eIDAS, every EU Digital Identity Wallet must let people create qualified electronic signatures. The EU dates: EU Digital Identity Wallet: the December 2026 deadline.
What to do now
If you plan to register, have the legal representative's qualified signature ready. For your own documents, Dazr Sign gives a simple electronic signature with an audit trail and a sealed PDF. Where a document needs more, choose Signs with a qualified signature for that person: they sign with their electronic identity card, a signing app or a qualified certificate, and Dazr Sign checks it against the EU trusted lists. Which level fits which document in Italy: Which signature do I need?
