Haman-gun Issues Mobile Resident Registration Cards with ID Stored on Cell Phones

App Installation and Issuance Available

Haman-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will start issuing 'Mobile Resident Registration Cards' that can store resident registration cards on mobile phones from the 14th.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety has been piloting the mobile resident registration card issuance service since the end of last year and will gradually begin the service from the 14th in non-metropolitan local governments, including the Gyeongnam area.

The mobile resident registration card issuance target is residents aged 17 or older who are issued resident registration cards, and they can receive the card by installing the 'Republic of Korea Mobile ID' app on their mobile phones.

There are two issuance methods. The first is the ▲'QR issuance method,' where residents visit the eup/myeon center within the jurisdiction of their resident registration area and scan a one-time QR code. In this case, the issuance is free of charge, and the mobile resident registration card can be issued immediately. However, if the phone is changed, a revisit is required.

The second is the ▲'Integrated Circuit (IC) resident registration card issuance method,' where a physical resident registration card with an embedded IC chip is issued and registered by touching it to the mobile phone. This method costs 10,000 KRW.

After a phased expansion period, from March 28, mobile resident registration cards can be issued anywhere nationwide regardless of the address.
