# Embedded Identity Document
The Embedded Identity Document (EID) is the identifier associated with an eSIM's embedded secure element. It identifies eSIM-capable hardware; it is distinct from an [[Integrated Circuit Card Identifier|ICCID]], which identifies a particular SIM or downloaded profile, and from an [[International Mobile Equipment Identity|IMEI]], which identifies cellular equipment.
