[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Samsung Electronics announced on the 7th that it will support mobile driver's license verification services on Samsung Pay in collaboration with the three domestic mobile carriers (SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus).

The mobile driver's license verification service allows users to register their driver's license on Samsung Pay and verify driving qualifications or age without the physical driver's license. The driver's license verification service has been legally recognized for use in personal identity verification and license qualification confirmation through the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) regulatory sandbox.

Samsung Pay users can verify their identity and age at airports (domestic flights), movie theaters, convenience stores, and more.

Additionally, Samsung Electronics is collaborating with SK Telecom to currently issue student IDs for 23 Innovation Shared Universities through Samsung Pay. Students can select 'Add Student ID' in the 'Mobile ID' section of the Samsung Pay app, which automatically connects to the SK Telecom mobile wallet to issue the student ID on Samsung Pay. The issued student ID allows free login to university systems.

Samsung Electronics, together with SK Telecom, plans to continuously expand the Innovation Shared University student ID service to major universities nationwide and enhance usability both online and offline for identity verification and access control within university campuses.
