Performing ID Verification for Adult Authentication in Restricted Films and Alcohol Purchases for Youth

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus, and CGV announced on the 21st that they have signed a "Business Agreement for the Introduction and Activation of PASS Mobile Driver's License Verification Service" and will provide authentication services through mobile IDs. This is the first time mobile IDs have been introduced in movie theaters.

The three telecom companies and CGV also plan to offer a "Smart Ticket" service that combines mobile movie tickets and IDs, actively aiming to enhance customer convenience in cultural activities.

With the introduction of the PASS mobile driver's license verification service, ID verification tasks at movie theaters can be easily replaced. Physical IDs, which were required when watching age-restricted movies or purchasing alcoholic beverages, can be replaced with mobile driver's licenses, significantly improving operational convenience within theaters.

Meanwhile, the "PASS Mobile Driver's License Verification Service" currently has about 3.5 million subscribers. The PASS mobile driver's license verification service is used as an ID for verifying minors at approximately 50,000 convenience stores nationwide and is utilized at 27 driver's license examination centers across the country for driver's license renewal, reissuance, and issuance of English driver's licenses. It is also used as a means of identification at unmanned alcohol and tobacco vending machines without the need for physical IDs.
