The Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) today (March 10)  unveiled the prototype of the Taiwan Digital Identity Wallet (TW DIW). MODA plans to launch a sandbox by the end of March, gradually releasing the source code while also organizing multiple regulatory adjustment meetings, seminars, and workshops. These initiatives aim to encourage nationwide participation in testing and discussions, allowing MODA to refine the system based on test feedback and regulatory adjustments, with the goal of selecting pilot application scenarios and initiating trial operations by December this year.

The TW DIW will allow individuals to securely store their digital credentials, such as Citizen Digital Certificates, National Health Insurance (NHI) Cards, and Driver’s Licenses. In the future, people will only need their mobile phones to verify various credentials swiftly, simplifying processes such as ticket collection, prescription pick-up, and telecom service registration. 

Minister Yennun Huang highlighted three key implications of the TW DIW for digital society. 
First, digital credentials will become the cornerstone of a digital society, forming the foundation for various services.  Second, individuals will have full control over their credential data, with selective disclosure mechanisms enhancing privacy and data protection. Third, the interoperability of digital credentials will accelerate Taiwan’s transition into a smart digital society and boost the growth of the digital economy. 

The TW DIW is designed to comply with international standards and supports global cross-border digital verification. This initiative underscores Taiwan’s commitment to digital human rights while reinforcing its critical role in global digital cooperation. MODA remains dedicated to driving digital transformation, improving public engagement with digital services, and achieving the dual goals of digital sovereignty and security. 

MODA emphasized that the TW DIW will streamline digital interactions in everyday life, offering more efficient and secure digital services. By fostering close collaboration across government agencies and public-private sectors, MODA aims to build a robust digital authentication and authorization ecosystem, laying a strong foundation for digital transformation and innovation in Taiwan.
