EBSI helps public authorities make trusted information easier to issue, share, and verify across borders, while keeping control of the systems and governance they already use.



Trusted by institutions across Europe







When people move, study, work, or do business across Europe, public authorities often need to verify information issued elsewhere. EBSI helps make trusted information easier to check across borders, supporting more connected service delivery.

As digital identity and credential ecosystems mature, public institutions need infrastructure that supports trusted exchange across different systems. EBSI helps public administrations build towards more interoperable service delivery without starting from scratch.

Public services are delivered through national, regional, and local systems with different responsibilities and governance models. EBSI helps these systems exchange trusted information while allowing institutions to retain control over their own data and processes.
EBSI is designed around European governance, interoperability, and institutional accountability, helping public and education actors collaborate without relying on a single commercial platform.
EBSI is operated by participating Member States, creating a resilient trusted layer for digital exchange.
Institutions can use EBSI as a trust layer while continuing to operate their own education, identity, and student information systems.
