11 Types of Public Services Opened to the Private Sector
Passport Reissuance, Reporting, and Reservation Services
# Mr. Nagaebang, who decided to go on an overseas trip with his family after a long time, only realized that his passport was about to expire in three weeks. He quickly turned on his smartphone and completed the passport reissuance application in just one minute using the KB Star Banking application (app) he usually uses. Fortunately, he was able to go on the family trip with the newly issued passport before departure.
From the 17th, 11 public services such as passport reissuance applications, Book Connection services, and lost item reports, which were previously only available on public websites or apps, will also be accessible through frequently used private apps. The Digital Platform Government Committee and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety have opened 11 services with high public usage and private sector demand to the private sector.
