Mobile driver license will debut next year as three major telecom companies would use blockchain technology to store licenses in smart phones.

The Ministry of Science and ICT Thursday allowed SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ to store driver licenses of customers into their mobile phones.

Thus, even if you do not carry the current plastic license, you can show mobile driver license when necessary.

The government’s action paved the way for people not to carry the plastic driver licenses. They can keep them in mobile phones.

The mobile driver license system became possible as the telecom companies use blockchain technology to store the licenses.

The telecom companies said details would come out next year.
