Mobile driver's license verification service and driving history certificate available

Starting on the 20th, when using domestic flights, you can board even if you have lost, stolen, or do not have an ID card, as long as you have a smartphone registered in your name.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on March 19 that passengers on domestic flights can have their identities verified using government-issued electronic certificates, such as the Government24 mobile application operated by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
Domestic flight passengers without identification cards can show check-in staff and security personnel the procedure of logging into the Government 24 app running on their smartphone when issuing boarding passes and entering the security area.

A driver's history certificate with a photo attached, issued from the electronic document wallet of the Government24 app, can also be used for identity verification.

In addition, once the mobile driver's license verification service, jointly promoted by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the National Police Agency through the ICT regulatory grace period, is implemented in the first half of this year, identity verification will also be possible using a driver's license registered on a mobile device.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been pursuing system improvements in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Korea Airports Corporation, and airlines to enable identity verification using government-issued electronic certificates, thereby resolving the inconvenience faced by passengers without identification cards.

that As a result, it was found that as of 2019, approximately 10,000 passengers on domestic flights annually did not possess identification.
Kim Yi-tak, Director General of Aviation Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, “Through collaboration with relevant ministries, we have created an opportunity to resolve inconveniences for domestic flight passengers and increase the utilization of government-issued electronic certificates.” He added, “We will continue to pursue policies that enhance passenger convenience while ensuring aviation security.”
