Public Consultation Open: “Digital Wallet” Initiative

📢 Public Consultation Open: “Digital Wallet” Initiative

The Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform (DPER), through its Open Government section, has launched a public consultation on Ireland’s proposed Digital Wallet initiative.

This initiative forms part of a wider EU programme aimed at modernising how citizens access and store official documents securely.

💡 What is the Digital Wallet?

The proposed Digital Wallet will allow people to safely store important personal documents on their mobile devices, offering a more convenient and accessible way to manage essential records.

Documents that may be included:

  • Birth certificates
  • Driving licences
  • European Health Insurance Cards
  • Other official documentation

The goal is to provide a secure, easy-to-use digital solution that reduces the need for physical paperwork while ensuring privacy and protection.

🗣️ Why This Consultation Matters

This is an opportunity for individuals, community groups, and organisations across Waterford to:

  • Share their views on digital access and inclusion
  • Highlight potential benefits or concerns
  • Help shape how public services are delivered in the future

Whether you support the initiative or have concerns about it, your perspective is important. Public consultations are designed to reflect a wide range of views, and all feedback helps inform decision-making.
