KT to Allow Telecommunications Service Subscription Using PASS App Driver's License

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT's PASS app will allow users to subscribe to KT's wired and wireless communication services without a physical ID card such as a resident registration card or driver's license.

According to KT on the 20th, 'PASS Mobile Driver's License' is a service that registers a driver's license under the user's name in the PASS app, a telecom authentication app, and is used for identity verification and driver qualification confirmation. KT subscribers can simply present the KT PASS Mobile Driver's License without a physical ID when changing their mobile device or subscribing to, changing, or canceling wired and wireless services. The PASS Mobile Driver's License can be applied to all tasks requiring identification. It was first commercialized domestically in September last year through the Ministry of Science and ICT's ICT regulatory sandbox, focusing on enhancing customer convenience as a digital official ID.

Lee Seong-hwan, Executive Director of KT's 5G/GiGA Business Division, stated, “KT has significantly improved customer convenience by enabling subscription and cancellation of communication services with only the PASS Mobile Driver's License, without the need for a physical ID. Moving forward, KT will continue to deeply consider and introduce services that customers need with flexible, customer-centered thinking.”
