[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has launched an active campaign to promote the ‘Personal Signature Verification System,’ which replaces the seal with the individual's signature alone.


The ‘Personal Signature Verification System’ was implemented on December 1, 2012, to improve the problems of the seal system.


This system has the same legal effect as the seal system but offers the advantages of safety and convenience by eliminating the need to create and register a seal and preventing false proxy issuance.


In particular, seals that were previously required for personal verification in various permits and real estate transactions can now be replaced with the individual's signature alone.


It is even safer because it can be issued by submitting an ID and completing the identity verification process at any city, county, or district office or at the resident welfare center in towns and townships, with only a signature required.


The county plans to produce 4,000 disinfectant tissue packs with informational leaflets about the Personal Signature Verification System attached and distribute them to visitors at the county office’s civil affairs department and township civil service offices to promote the system’s safety and convenience.


Additionally, the county will promote the system to local financial institutions and judicial scriveners, as well as provide information at township chiefs’ meetings and various organizations within the region.



A county official stated, “We expect that the Personal Signature Verification Certificate, which can replace the seal certificate, will enhance residents’ convenience and reduce administrative costs,” adding, “We plan to continue promoting the system to ensure it becomes well established.”
