AMLR becomes a uniform AML rulebook from July 2027, replacing many national special provisions.

Digital identifiering enligt AMLR ↗

What happened

  • The article names three recognised digital identification methods under AMLR: national e-identities, the EUDI wallet, and qualified trust services.
  • The article states that under AMLR the EUDI wallet must be provided by each member state by the end of 2026.
  • The article states that document-based procedures remain possible if they meet ETSI standard 119 461.
  • The article states that German GwG allowed mainly four remote identification methods, including video-ID with trained staff.
  • The article states that under BaFin rules, video-ID identity checks had to be performed in real time by specially trained staff, and fully automated or AI-supported checks were not recognised as equivalent for GwG use cases.

Why it matters to Signicat

  • AMLR's named methods (national eID, EUDI wallet, QTS including QES/QEAA) align with Signicat's eID Hub, Wallet Hub and electronic signing lines, so the regulatory shift favours these products in Germany.
  • Nect frames the German market as dependent on manual video-ID, a positioning Signicat should track when competing for German AML onboarding.
