The PASS mobile ID is an integrated online and offline ID that can be used in online and non-face-to-face environments. It has the same legal effect as a physical driver's license or national veterans registration card. When shown to the election staff, a procedure is followed to compare the ID photo with the face and verify that the name, gender, date of birth, and address match.

Samsung Wallet is a service launched by Samsung Electronics on the 20th of last month by revamping the existing Samsung Pay. It includes the 'mobile driver's license' and 'mobile national veterans registration card,' which have the same legal effect as physical IDs.

Additionally, identity verification at polling stations can also be done using driver's career certificates, disability certificates, school records, national technical certificates, and other documents issued through Naver Certificates and KakaoTalk Wallet.
