[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 2nd that it will implement a service from the 3rd to verify personal information for passport issuance through 'Public MyData'.


Until now, when issuing a passport, applicants had to prepare identity verification documents themselves or individually check them through a separate civil service system called 'Administrative Information Joint Use'. However, using Public MyData is expected to simplify the procedure.


Public MyData is a system that utilizes various personal administrative information held by public institutions for various public and private services.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, "MyData is transmitted after obtaining the individual's consent to provide information, and only the minimum information necessary for processing the task is provided."
