South Korean identity card
National identity card of South Korea
Korean citizens are issued a national ID card (Korean: 주민등록증; Hanja: 住民登錄證; RR: jumin deungnok jeung) when they reach the age of 17.[1] This card contains a unique Resident registration number (Korean: 주민등록번호; Hanja: 住民登錄番號; RR: jumin deungnok beonho). The first six numbers indicate the citizen's date of birth, in the format YYMMDD, for example, someone born on August 15, 1980, would have 800815 as the first six digits. The last seven numbers includes information such as where the birth was registered. This resident registration number is used by Korean citizens and foreign nationals for all forms of record-keeping.
