Ministry of the Interior and Safety Linked Self-Service Implementation

Public MyData Service Flowchart.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City has established a ‘Self Public MyData Service System’ linked with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, allowing citizens to easily submit their administrative information such as resident registration certificates and tax payment certificates held by administrative and public institutions online with their consent.

The ‘Public MyData Service’ is based on Article 43-2 of the revised and enforced ‘Electronic Government Act’ last year, known as the ‘Right to Request Provision,’ which enables the data subject, the citizen, to use their administrative information held by administrative and public institutions in data form by providing it to themselves or a third party upon request.

The service system provides the requested personal information in the form of bundled data by extracting only the necessary items minimally through the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s Public MyData distribution system when a citizen (data subject) requests their information during an administrative service application (website, etc.).

Example of bundled information.

Until now, to apply for public support projects, applicants had to personally obtain and submit various supporting documents such as resident registration certificates, income amount certificates, health insurance qualification certificates, and real estate electronic contracts either at a counter or as electronic files, which was cumbersome.

Now, with an environment where online provision is possible with just the applicant’s consent, using the Public MyData service is expected to reduce the time applicants spend preparing separate documents and shorten the document verification time for project managers, resulting in various benefits.

The city plans to first implement the ‘Youth Jeon/Wolse Brokerage Fee Support Participation Qualification Verification Service’ and the ‘Youth Safe Jeonse Deposit Return Guarantee Fee Support Participation Qualification Verification Service’ on the 2023 Busan City Youth Platform using the self-established Public MyData service system.

Lee Joon-seung, Director of the Digital Economy Innovation Office of Busan City, said, “The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to continue expanding available Public MyData services, and Busan City will actively increase the number of service target projects to enhance citizen convenience and simplify administrative processes.”
