[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Marking five months since the nationwide issuance of mobile driver's licenses, a briefing session on linking mobile ID services will be held to explore various convenience services utilizing the identity verification function of mobile IDs.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (Minister Sangmin Lee) announced on the 26th that it will hold a 'Mobile ID Service Linkage Briefing Session' on the 27th at the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation's Seoul office for companies and public institutions.

With the nationwide issuance of mobile driver's licenses starting in July this year, the era of mobile IDs has officially begun, and as of November, approximately 740,000 have been issued.

At this briefing session, excellent service cases utilizing mobile IDs will be introduced, and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will explain support measures to promote the development of various convenience services based on mobile IDs in both the public and private sectors.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to actively reflect the requirements discussed at the briefing session to revise and supplement the linkage guidelines and share them on the Mobile ID Development Support Center website to enable easy and convenient use of mobile IDs across various fields.

Meanwhile, following the mobile driver's license, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to continuously expand mobile IDs by issuing mobile national veterans registration cards in cooperation with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs within the first half of 2023.

Hwang Kyuchul, Director of Public AI Policy at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, “The expansion of identity verification systems based on mobile IDs is a major pillar of the transition to a digital platform government. We will continue public-private cooperation and support so that citizens can easily and conveniently use various non-face-to-face and online services through mobile IDs.”
