Why is it difficult
for short-term visitors
to use mobile identity verification
in Korea?
To use mobile identity verification,
you must meet the required ID
and registration requirements.
Korean citizens
need a valid Korean ID,
such as a Resident Registration Card.
Foreign nationals
need a Korean-issued ID,
such as an Alien Registration Card
or an Overseas Korean Resident Card.
You must also sign up for
a Korean mobile service
under your own name.
However,
a travel SIM or eSIM
activated with a passport
is designed for short-term visitors.
You can use data, calls,
and text messages.
But, mobile identity verification
is not supported.
Because of these requirements,
mobile identity verification
is not available
for most short-term visitors.
