Introduction
ITU and ISO issued standards for certification of public keys in Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3]
which are used for the security of communications and data for a wide range of electronic applications.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic
identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing
Directive 1999/93/EC [i.1] defines requirements on specific types of certificates named "qualified certificates".
Implementation of Directive 1999/93/EC [i.1], superseded by Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5], and deployment of
certificate infrastructures throughout Europe as well as in countries outside of Europe, have resulted in a variety of
certificate implementations for use in public and closed environments, where some are declared as qualified certificates
while others are not.
Applications need support from standardized and interoperable identity certificate profiles, in particular when
applications are used for electronic signatures, authentication and secure electronic exchange in open environments and
international trust scenarios, but also when certificates are used in local application contexts.
This multi-part deliverable aims to maximize the interoperability of systems issuing and using certificates both in the
European context under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5] and in the wider international environment.

1 Scope
The present document specifies requirements on the content end entity certificates issued to Person Identification
Data (PID) providers, Public Sector Body's Electronic Attestation of Attributes (PSBEAA) providers, Electronic
Attestation of Attributes (EAA) providers, Qualified Electronic Attestation of Attributes (QEAA) providers and Wallet
providers. This profile is based on ETSI EN 319 412-2 [5] and ETSI EN 319 412-3 [6] which in turn build on IETF
RFC 5280 [1] for generic profiling of Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3] and also uses IETF
RFC 5755 [i.8] for attribute issuer certificate profiles.
This profile aims at supporting the requirements of the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5] as amended by
Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 [i.7]. The scope of the present document is primary limited to facilitate interoperable
processing and display of certificate information. This profile therefore excludes support for some certificate
information content options, which can be perfectly valid in a local context but which are not regarded as relevant or
suitable for use in widely deployed applications.
The present document focuses on requirements on certificate content. Requirements on decoding and processing rules
are limited to aspects required to process certificate content defined in the present document. Further processing
requirements are only specified for cases where it adds information that is necessary for the sake of interoperability.
Certain applications or protocols impose specific requirements on certificate content. The present document is based on
the assumption that these req
