The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has recently updated the TS 119 461 standard to align with the requirements of the new EU Digital Identity Framework.
This revised version plays a crucial role in harmonizing identity and attribute verification processes in compliance with the amended eIDAS Regulation. By introducing enhanced security measures and updated verification procedures, the standard strengthens the trustworthiness of digital identity proofing across the European Union.
With the 2026 deadline for re-certification for Qualified Trust Service Providers, organizations falling under these categories must take proactive steps to ensure compliance with ETSI TS 119 461.
