Ministry of the Interior and Safety Signs Agreement with Digital Zone and I&Tech to Promote Use of Electronic Certificates

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] From the end of this year, most certificates from national, public, and private universities will be available as smartphone electronic certificates.

On the 26th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that on the 27th, it will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Government Seoul Office with Digital Zone and I&Tech to promote the use of electronic certificates. Digital Zone and I&Tech are specialized companies in internet certificate issuance services, currently handling the issuance of 15 types of certificates, including graduation certificates, enrollment certificates, and transcripts, for over 400 universities nationwide.

Through this agreement, the Ministry plans to provide electronic certificate services for certificates from about 340 universities via smartphones by the end of this year, and will expand the service to other universities as development is completed. In the future, university certificates can be applied for through the internet certificate issuance sites of the authorized agencies and issued as mobile electronic certificates.

To receive university certificates as electronic certificates, users must first download and install the "Government24 app" on their smartphones, obtain an 'electronic document wallet' once, and select the 'electronic document wallet' as the method for receiving the certificate issuance.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety will continue to cooperate with related organizations to expand services so that university certificates required for employment, admission to higher education, national qualification exams, and more can be issued and submitted as electronic certificates.

Han Chang-seop, Director of the Government Innovation Organization Office, said, "Through this agreement, most certificates from national, public, and private universities will be available as mobile electronic certificates," and added, "We will continue to cooperate with the private and public sectors to expand the institutions using electronic certificates so that they can be conveniently used in daily life."
