One analysis, three uses
The same law-derived requirements can serve a national procedure, a cross-border evidence request and a wallet attestation.
How it connects to the OOTS Common Services
In the Once-Only Technical System, the Common Services tell an authority what it can ask for and where:
Evidence Broker
Which evidence types prove which requirement of a procedure.
Data Service Directory
Which provider delivers that evidence, through which service.
Semantic Repository
The shared schemas and code lists.
Member States identify the requirements of their procedures and map them to evidence types. That mapping has to start from the law. Zendd's analysis produces that starting point: per procedure, the requirements, the person they concern and the source that can confirm them — each traceable to article and paragraph.
We see this as input that can support evidence mapping, not as a replacement for it. The mapping remains the responsibility of Member States and their competent authorities.
How it connects to the wallet
From the end of 2026, public sector bodies that require strong electronic identification must also accept the European Digital Identity Wallet. Wallets carry attestations: a verified fact, issued by a trusted party.
Which attestations a procedure needs follows from the same question — what must be proven? An analysis that answers it once can inform both the evidence request and the wallet presentation.
Our role — and what we do not do
| Layer | Who | Zendd |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements from law | Member State and competent authority | Analysis and decision rules — our core |
| Human review of the analysis | VHIC, legal content editors | Partner |
| Connection to sources and to OOTS | Enable-U; the national OOTS access point in the Netherlands is provided by RINIS | Partner — not our role |
| Trusted data exchange under eIDAS | Trusted Information Partners | Participant |
| Qualified attestations for wallets | Qualified trust service providers | Not our role |
We do not build our own access point and we do not aim to become a trust service provider. We make sure the question what must be proven is answered correctly, so the rest of the chain can do its work.
Trusted Information Partners is a Dutch public-private network for trusted data exchange under the European eIDAS rules. Other participants include the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Tax and Customs Administration, and the municipalities of Nijmegen and Rotterdam.
Rijswijk: a first test
At the end of 2025 the Dutch municipality of Rijswijk issued a test birth certificate as a qualified attestation into a wallet — together with the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG), the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Cleverbase, RINIS and Enable-U. Zendd contributed thinking in the early phase of that pilot.
