Italian residents can now digitalize their identity documents with the IT-Wallet, Italy's version of the EU Digital Identity Wallet.
The IT-Wallet allows users to scan their driving license and health card from the IO app, with plans to expand to include other documents and functionalities.
The implementation of the EU ID Wallet has raised concerns about privacy and security among commentators and experts.
While the IT-Wallet is currently voluntary in Italy, critics argue that it could enable increased government surveillance and pose security risks.
