Updated: March 15, 2022
What is a public personal authentication service?
The public authentication service for individuals uses electronic signatures and electronic certificates to certify that the application is from the person himself/herself, when the residents use electronic signatures and electronic certificates to carry out administrative procedures (online applications, etc.) on the Internet. It is an identity verification service that prevents fraudulent acts such as impersonation applications, falsification of data during communication, and denial of transmission.
To use this service for the first time, you will need a My Number Card.
