Trusted List
A Trusted List is the authoritative register a verifier consults to decide whether an issuer is trusted: each EU member state publishes one, naming the qualified trust service providers and issuers it authorises to operate under its trust framework.
A verifier checks a credential’s issuer against the relevant Trusted List instead of maintaining its own list of who to trust, so the same check works no matter which member state issued the credential. Trusted Lists are what makes a trust framework operational rather than only a legal description: eIDAS 2.0 requires every member state to maintain one, and the ARF names it as a normative building block of the EUDI Wallet ecosystem alongside the PID and the wallet’s own trust anchors.
