EBWOID

EBWOID, European Business Wallet Owner Identification Data, is the attestation that identifies the organisation a European Business Wallet belongs to, issued from an authentic source such as a business register.

It is deliberately small. Rather than describing a company in full, it carries a cross-border unique identifier such as an EUID, the official legal name as held in the authentic register, the issuing authority and country, an expiry date, status information for revocation and suspension, and a trust anchor a verifier can follow to check all of it. It also states its own legal category, either a QEAA or a public-sector EAA, so a relying party knows what weight it carries. Issuers are public sector bodies, qualified trust service providers, or the Commission for Union entities, always working from authentic sources notified to the Commission. The format is SD-JWT VC, with the credential type uri:eu.ebw.oid.1, or the W3C data model; ISO mdoc is explicitly out of scope. EBWOID identifies the organisation and nothing more, so where a transaction has to be bound to a person acting for it, the relying party asks for that representative’s PID alongside it.
