How to issue a personal security number
–
The issuance method is simple. Individuals can download applications such as Naver or Kakao PASS from their mobile phones and check them on the QR check-in screen. The personal security number is listed under the QR code. If you write it down or memorize it after receiving it once, you can write it anywhere instead of your mobile phone number. It can be used until the end of Corona 19.
Director Lee said, “We expect that the introduction of personal security number will relieve the public’s concerns about personal information leakage and misuse. If you write it down or memorize it, you can use it without having to turn on the app. Therefore, he urged citizens who use multi-use facilities to actively use their personal safety number.”
