Poland's EUDI wallet: a pilot in mObywatel at the end of 2026, with an e-ID card
Poland's EU Digital Identity Wallet starts as a pilot in mObywatel at the end of 2026. You need an ID card with a chip; businesses can test it now.
Poland builds its EU Digital Identity Wallet into the ecosystem of mObywatel, the state app used by more than 11 million people. The Ministry of Digital Affairs announced on 4 March 2026 that the wallet joins mObywatel at the end of 2026, first as a pilot. The app is developed by the Central Informatics Centre (COI).
What the wallet will do
According to the ministry, users will be able to confirm their identity and data, use public services, sign documents electronically and use selected cross-border services across the EU. It also allows age checks in which only the age is passed on, without other personal data.
How to get it
- Pilot: available from the mObywatel app after a one-time strong authentication with an ID card with an electronic layer (e-dowód). Without such a card the wallet cannot be used. Replacing an ID card is free and can be requested in mObywatel.
- After the pilot: once the results are analysed, the wallet will be built into mObywatel itself.
- For businesses: since 16 September 2026 a free sandbox from the ministry and COI lets companies and institutions test integration with a demo version of the app, mObywatel Europa, starting with test identity data and a web verifier.

What to do now
For contracts in Poland nothing changes yet: the three levels of electronic signature and their legal effect stay the same, and a qualified signature is still made with a qualified certificate until wallet signing is available.
Dazr Sign gives a simple electronic signature with an audit trail and a sealed PDF for everyday documents. Where a document needs more, choose for that signer an ID-verified advanced signature, or Signs with a qualified signature: they sign with their own qualified certificate, and Dazr Sign checks it against the EU trusted lists.
