After 56 years, the resident registration card will change to a mobile ID card that can be registered and used on a smartphone.

It is the fourth mobile ID card following the driver's license, which can be used in public institutions and hospitals in the same way as existing resident registration cards.

I submit my application form and ID card at the civil service counter of the Administrative Welfare Center.

When you take a QR code and recognize your face on the camera, your social security card is visible on your smartphone.

It is a mobile resident registration card that can be used the same as a real resident registration card.

You can also provide only the minimum amount of information suitable for your purpose, such as showing only the first digit of your resident registration number.

This mobile resident registration card is the fourth mobile identification card following the driver's license, veterans' registration card, and overseas national identification card.

There are two ways to obtain an IC resident registration card and recognize it on a smartphone or take a QR code to receive it.

The IC resident registration card has a chip built into the actual resident registration card, and even if you change your smartphone, you can easily reissue it by recognizing the chip, but there is an initial cost of 10,000 won.

There is no additional cost for recognizing and issuing a QR code, but if you change your smartphone, you need to visit the Administrative Welfare Center again.

The issued mobile resident registration card can also be used by public institutions, financial institutions, convenience stores, and hospitals.

In particular, blockchain and encryption technology are applied to prevent personal information leakage or fraudulent use.
