Let’s look at how to issue an i-PIN and how to issue a minor. In Korea, a cyber identification number system called i-PIN is introduced to prevent theft of resident registration numbers when using financial transactions or Internet services. We will also look at issuance methods for minors and overseas residents.
How to issue an i-PIN
What is i-PIN?
I-PIN was first introduced in 2006 and is an Internet identification number developed by the government and the Korea Information Security Agency, and is a kind of identity verification method. In English, it is the Internet Personal Identification Number, which is abbreviated as PIN. The reason i-pin was created is a kind of identification number developed by the government to prevent theft of personal information such as resident registration number on the Internet.
How to issue an i-PIN
New issuance of i-PIN has been suspended since October 31, 2018, and new issuance and reissuance of public i-PIN and My-PIN have been suspended. Currently, you can apply for issuance through the Korea Credit Bureau, Seoul Credit Rating Information, and NICE Evaluation Information homepages of private companies. .
The advantage of using an i-PIN is that it is less likely to be leaked compared to a resident registration number. In case of leakage, the existing i-pin can be discarded and can be replaced with another i-pin, preventing secondary damage.

How to issue i-PIN for minors
If you have very young children who are minors, there may be a situation where you have to sign up for a site without an identification card or cell phone.
At that time, you can solve the problem by obtaining an i-PIN for your child.
And that i-pin can be issued through NICE i-pin, so today I would like to introduce how to do that.
However, one thing to be careful about here is that the legal representative relationship confirmation is conducted through the resident registration system of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and the legal representative and children must be members of the same household, and the legal representative must be the head of the household.
In fact, there is no problem if all the family members live together, are of the same generation, and one of the parents is the head of the household. If you are a grandfather or grandmother, not a parent, you cannot check the relationship of legal representative online, so in such a case, it is impossible to issue an i-PIN online, and you must visit the customer center in person.
And the method of issuing by visiting the customer center is as follows.
The location of the NICE evaluation information customer center is shown on the map below.
Business hours are weekdays 09:00 ~ 18:00 (lunch time 12:00 ~ 13:00), and the contact number is 1600-1522 (niceipin_privacy@nice.co.kr).
In addition, for the documents required for the visit, you must bring the ID of the legal representative and a document that can confirm the relationship between the legal representative and the issuer (child) (choose one from among resident registration, family relation certificate, and basic certificate).
You may think that issuing an i-PIN is unnecessary for really young children, but if your child is admitted to the hospital, you must register as a member on the hospital website with your child’s name. By proceeding, you can check the records of treatment or hospitalization management and various tests received.
And not only on the hospital website, but also in certain situations, I think there will come a situation where an i-pin that can replace a child’s ID card is essential, so if you get a chance to get one, it will be used more than you think.
How to issue i-PIN for overseas residents
Even if you do not have a mobile phone in your name or you live abroad, you can access the NICE evaluation information and issue it free of charge. There is no separate login, and when you click ‘Issue i-PIN’, the issuance procedure window appears.
