[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The payment methods for fees at unmanned civil service issuance machines will be expanded from cash to card and mobile easy payments.

On the 27th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety signed a business agreement with the National Association of Mayors, County Governors, and District Heads, and the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute at the Local Government Hall in Sejong City to cooperate in expanding unmanned civil service issuance machines that accept credit and debit card payments.

Among the 65 types of documents issued free of charge through unmanned civil service issuance machines, there were inconveniences for users as only cash payments were accepted for 25 types of paid issuance certificates such as resident registration certificates and land register copies.

Currently, out of 4,218 unmanned civil service issuance machines nationwide, only 1,662 support card payment services, but there are plans to further expand this.

Mobile payments using smartphones will first introduce Samsung Pay and later expand to various mobile payment methods.

Certificates issued by courts, such as real estate registration certificates, for which card payment systems have not yet been developed, will be available by July.
