The short answer
The registry stores identifiers, not the passport data itself. The data stays with the manufacturer or a provider they commission. According to secondary sources the registry has been live since 20 July 2026, based on Implementing Regulation 2026/1778. We have not checked that against the primary text.
Art. 13 ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781); Implementing Regulation 2026/1778 (according to secondary sources)
In detail
Through the identifier the registry points to the passport. The content comes from the economic operator’s data store.
The start date comes from secondary sources. Check it in the Implementing Regulation before you rely on it.
Example: a manufacturer runs the passport on its own infrastructure and reports the identifiers to the registry. Control of the data stays with them.
