1. What is a mobile ID? What is the use?

In particular, with the implementation of mandatory hospital ID cards, mobile ID cards will likely be used a lot in the future. Mobile ID refers to replacing traditional identification (mainly driver’s license or ID card) with a digital form.
This is done by authenticating the individual’s identity through a smartphone app.
Typically, mobile ID cards are issued by government agencies or certified third-party companies, and to enhance security, access can be controlled using biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.), PIN, or pattern.
Mobile ID offers several advantages. First, it reduces the worry of losing your ID if your wallet or bag is lost or stolen.
Second, digital forms of ID are difficult to forge or alter, and have a higher level of security. Mobile IDs are also environmentally friendly, and can increase portability by storing multiple IDs on one device.
However, mobile IDs can raise various concerns such as security issues and privacy issues, so these aspects must be taken into consideration and managed carefully.
Please be careful not to allow it to be hacked or misused by others.

Mobile ID has the same legal effect as a physical ID in the form of a plastic card, and has high future utility in that it can be used in a variety of online and offline environments, so please be sure to get one.
It is expected that the scope of use of mobile ID will gradually expand based on its convenience and security.
Mobileization of other identification cards, such as resident registration cards and passports, is also planned, and a more convenient and safe digital identity verification system is expected to be established through linkage with various authentication services.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security recently introduced the ‘Resident Registration Card Mobile Verification Service’, a service that allows residents to use their resident registration cards on smartphones.
You can prove your identity by installing the ‘Government 24’ app and following a simple process by displaying the information written on your resident registration card on your smartphone screen. Specific issuance methods are provided below.
2. How to issue a mobile ID card
There are several ways to issue mobile ID cards, and we will introduce the easiest and fastest method. First, download and install the Government 24 app from Google Play Store or App Store.
It can be issued on a PC, but since it is a mobile ID, we recommend installing the app on your smartphone.
If you log in using a simple authentication method such as the financial certificate you normally use, joint certificate, Kakao, or Naver, and log in using a method you are familiar with, you will be able to proceed more easily and quickly.
After logging in, if you scroll down slightly, you will find the “Resident Registration Card Mobile Verification Service” button under the National Secretariat page. Check if it is an official government 24 service and be careful not to use a similar service.
Finally, enter simple personal information, set a secure password, and your mobile ID is issued. A photo of your resident registration card and a QR code are included, and a capture prevention system is applied so you can use it with confidence.
All of the above processes can be completed in just 1 minute. Please note that the next time you use the service, if you press the Resident Registration Card Mobile Verification Service button, a screen will automatically appear.
For your information, you can also obtain a mobile ID through Samsung Pay, but we recommend the method above as it is the easiest. Please note that mobile ID cards can only be issued and used on one smartphone in your name.
If you lose your smartphone, you must immediately delete your mobile ID through the app. When using a mobile ID, additional security procedures such as entering a password or biometric authentication may be required.
You can now issue mobile driver’s licenses and national veterans registration cards through the app. We also provide guidance on issuance of mobile driver’s licenses. This is how to apply for a reissue of an existing driver’s license.
IC driver’s license is required in advance. A mobile driver’s license is issued by replacing an existing driver’s license with an IC driver’s license. Select ‘Issue with IC driver’s license’ in the app and proceed with real name verification.
IC driver’s license issuance methods can be obtained both online and offline. It is issued immediately on site after applying on the Road Traffic Authority’s ‘Safe Driving Integrated Civil Service’ website or visiting a driver’s license test center.
Even if you lose your smartphone, you can get a mobile driver’s license again at any time as long as you have an IC driver’s license. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the previous posting below.
A mobile ID can be useful when you forget your wallet or when you need an ID but can’t bring it with you.
I think it’s great to be able to go out easily without a wallet thanks to mobile ID. I think it will be really convenient if it can be used in more places in the future.
