Service: European Social Security Pass

Responsible organisation: European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) (Academic-Research)

The European Social Security Pass pilot project aims at exploring the feasibility of a digital solution to improve cross-border verification of social security coverage and address challenges in mobile citizens’ identification and authentication for social security coordination purposes. Such a solution will be developed by leveraging the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) platform, the first EU-wide blockchain infrastructure supporting the delivery of cross-border services, for instance for citizens to manage their own identity, educational credentials and register documents. The pilot project, which started in March 2021, involves around a dozen of interested countries and remains open to participation from other interested Member States. It will address the most relevant technical, organisational and legal issues of the envisaged solution, also in view of a possible large-scale deployment.
