[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 7th that it will hold a briefing session on the use of 'mobile electronic certificates' for general businesses and promote the activation of electronic certificates.

Mobile electronic certificates are being used in place of paper certificates in tasks closely related to citizens' daily lives, such as employment, financial services, and telecommunications product subscriptions. Since the launch of mobile electronic certificates in December 2019, the cumulative number of issued certificates exceeded 10.22 million as of the end of January 2023.

Cases of institutions utilizing electronic certificates in their operations will also be shared.
