When conducting real estate or financial transactions, a seal is required for personal identification. It is reported that there have been at least one seal certificate issuance incident per day consistently. The number of seal certificate incidents that occurred from 2017 to June of this year was 2,048. By year, there were 476 cases in 2017, 473 cases in the year before last, and 433 cases last year, averaging around 450 cases per year. Most of the incidents were due to false powers of attorney, and there were also cases of identity card misuse and seal certificate forgery. Since agents can issue certificates with just a power of attorney, the incidents seem to continue without stopping. In order to improve this, a self-signature verification form has been introduced, which has the same effect as a seal but without the risk of seal loss or forgery, and it is easy to use. With just an ID card, you can receive it directly from the local resident center, etc. If you visit the resident center in advance and complete the verification process, you can do it through the Government 24 website.

A self-confirmation signature certificate can also be issued.
