Trusted by institutions across Europe

A shared trust layer for connected public services

Cross-border access to public services
01

Support cross-border access to services

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.

Prepare for more trusted digital services

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.

Connect services without centralising control

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.

Infrastructure designed for trusted exchange.

Sovereign European network

EBSI is designed around European governance, interoperability, and institutional accountability, helping public and education actors collaborate without relying on a single commercial platform.

Member States governance

EBSI is operated by participating Member States, creating a resilient trusted layer for digital exchange.

System interoperability

Institutions can use EBSI as a trust layer while continuing to operate their own education, identity, and student information systems.
