IT-Wallet: here are the rules for the pilot scheme for private individuals
The Digital Agency’s Regulations have been published
The Agency for Digital Italia (Agid) has published the regulations governing the trial of the IT-Wallet, the digital wallet, by service providers.
The testing environment is, in practice, a controlled setting in which users registered with the ‘IT-Wallet System’ carry out validation, testing, integrating and monitoring technical solutions.
Private solutions
Public and private entities wishing to participate in the trial as providers of private IT-Wallet solutions and/or providers of electronic attribute certificates must submit a specific application to AGID for ‘Registration with the IT-Wallet System’. Providers of private solutions are market operators and technology companies that develop and manage private versions of digital wallets, alongside the public wallet integrated into the IO app. It is through this private version, in practice, that the IT-Wallet can also be used for services provided by banks, insurance companies, car hire firms and others.
The provider of electronic certificates, on the other hand, is the entity that retrieves the data from the authentic source and converts it into a digitally signed electronic certificate in a standard format. For certificates of public interest and of primary importance, such as a driving licence, this function is reserved exclusively for the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. In the private sector or for qualified certificates, this role may be carried out by a provider,
The Regulations set out the documents to be attached to the application, which must be submitted to AGID.
