,
, ‘Since the amendment of the National Health Insurance Act in May last year, identity verification has become mandatory at hospitals, requiring hospital staff to manually check each patient’s physical ID or mobile ID verification service.’,
,
, ‘With the introduction of this service, easy identity verification is now possible at Yongin Severance Hospital through the PASS app. Patients can generate an identity verification QR code on the PASS app and scan it with a kiosk during registration, treatment, or payment, and the information such as name, resident registration number, and phone number is transmitted to the hospital.’,
,
, ‘The inputted information is securely transmitted to Yongin Severance Hospital through NICE Information & Communication, the number one value-added network (VAN) operator in Korea. NICE Information & Communication is the first VAN company to collaborate with the three telecom companies to support a more convenient and reliable customer identity verification service at medical institutions.’,
,
, ‘Users can pre-install the PASS ID verification service widget on their phone’s home screen and click on it when needed to easily bring up the identity verification QR code screen for a simpler authentication process.’,
,
, ‘Yongin Severance Hospital is the first domestic hospital to apply the QR scan method for the PASS mobile ID verification service. This QR scan method is expected to reduce errors from manual personal information input and improve the work efficiency of hospital staff.’,
,
, ‘The three telecom companies had previously applied the PASS mobile ID verification service using QR codes to over 3,600 community centers nationwide in December last year. When a customer generates an identity verification QR code from the PASS app, a community center official can scan it with a scanner, and information such as name, date of birth, and gender is transmitted to the community center.’,
,
, ‘PASS users can now easily verify their identity during administrative procedures without carrying a physical ID. Administrative agencies have also improved work efficiency and prevented fraudulent claims through this method.’,
,
, ‘Additionally, the PASS mobile ID verification service can be used in various areas such as police driver’s license verification, public election polling places, domestic flight check-ins, as well as in convenience stores, cinemas, car rentals, etc., for identity and age verification processes.’,
,
, ‘The three telecom companies stated, “Starting with the Yongin Severance Hospital case, we plan to continuously expand the application of the PASS mobile ID verification service to major hospitals and clinics nationwide as well as to commerce and finance sectors,” and added, “As a daily-life identification app, PASS will take the lead in establishing a safer and more efficient identity verification system.”‘,
