‘eIDAS’ refers to EU Regulation No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust
services for electronic transactions in the internal market. The UK will continue to
comply with the eIDAS Regulation during any agreed transition period. Agreement
on the future relationship between the UK and EU is subject to negotiations.
