The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said on the 13th that it has newly opened the mobile ID service to 4 providers — IBK Industrial Bank, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank and Hana Bank — so that from the 14th people can obtain and use mobile IDs such as resident registration cards and driver's licenses in each bank's app. This follows the apps of 6 private providers including Samsung Electronics and Naver, and the 4 banks passed a public selection and a suitability assessment covering protection against hacking and personal data leaks. Holders of an IC ID card can obtain one by tagging the card to their smartphone; those without an IC ID card visit a designated issuing office. Samsung device users who have been issued a mobile ID before can retrieve their existing ID with only a simple safe-authentication step.
