[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation invited high-ranking public officials from 11 countries, including Indonesia and Mongolia, to share domestic 'digital government best practices' and discuss ways to cooperate mutually.

The Minting Corporation recently operated a 'Digital Government Policy Managers' course with this purpose, where participating officials visited the Minting Corporation's ID Headquarters, attended lectures on digital transformation conducted in Korea, and toured the national ID card manufacturing and issuance site, the corporation announced on the 1st.

At this event, the Minting Corporation introduced the process of replacing the traditionally used plastic national ID cards with blockchain technology-based DID (Decentralized Identifier) mobile ID cards.

In particular, it emphasized that the recently issued mobile driver's licenses apply the Minting Corporation's advanced anti-counterfeiting technology, transforming them into digital IDs and highlighting their role as a core tool of digital policy.

During the course, attendees reportedly showed interest in the background and process by which the Minting Corporation, whose main task had been currency production, began promoting the mobile ID card project.

The Minting Corporation plans to transfer accumulated know-how and cooperate when countries participating in the Digital Government Policy Managers course pursue digital transformation in the future.
