According to cryptonews, SK Telecom, KT and LG U+, the nation's three biggest mobile carriers, have agreed a deal that will see them make use of the PASS driver's license mobile ID platform, the brainchild of the National Police Agency and the Road Traffic Authority.
The police force states that 1.4 million South Koreans have now begun to use the PASS platform, which allows users to prove their identity using the police's blockchain network and scannable QR codes or barcodes.
The CU and GS25 convenience store chains have already begun accepting the PASS App as a proof of age in outlets nationwide. And last week, internet giant Naver and chat App operator Kakao also joined the platform, after being granted "temporary permission" under regulatory sandbox rules.
