Yongin City Issues 'My Pin' Identification Service

Yongin City announced on the 7th that it is implementing the 'My Pin (My Pin)' service, which enables personal verification for offline everyday use.

'My Pin' is a personal identification method usable in offline everyday situations rather than online, consisting of 13 random digits with no personal identification information included.

This is an expanded offline provision service of the I-PIN (I-PIN) currently used online.

It is not mandatory; issuance occurs when needed for membership registration or other service use. Comprising 13 arbitrary digits, it replaces the resident registration number and represents personal information.

Additionally, it can be changed up to three times per year if needed, and stability is enhanced through notification service provision.

Applications for issuance can be made at the Public I-PIN Center, Nice Credit Evaluation, Seoul Credit Evaluation Information, Korea Credit View, and other My Pin-issuing websites, or at Yongin City eup·myeon·dong resident centers (regardless of residence location) by presenting identification.

A city official stated, "Following the enforcement of the law, the city will be thorough in prohibiting the collection of resident registration numbers without legal grounds and in managing personal information."
