'Shop Duty-Free Without a Physical Passport' Shinsegae Duty Free Introduces Mobile Passport Service
2024.07.01 198“Shop Duty-Free Without a Physical Passport” Shinsegae Duty Free Introduces Mobile Passport Service
Shinsegae Duty Free has made a groundbreaking move by introducing a mobile passport service that allows travelers to shop duty-free without carrying a physical passport.
With this new service, visitors to Shinsegae Duty Free can conveniently enjoy duty-free shopping without needing to physically present their passports during transactions. This feature is especially advantageous at Incheon Airport, where travelers can avoid the hassle of handling their physical passports.
Customers interested in using the mobile passport service can obtain a digital passport through the TripPASS app provided by LoRdSystem.
When shopping at duty-free stores, customers simply present the mobile passport QR code within the TripPASS app. Store staff can then scan the QR code to quickly access customer information.
The mobile passport is generated through a process that includes OCR scanning of the physical passport, recognition of the electronic e-passport chip, and facial recognition to confirm the user’s identity. The mobile passport remains valid for one minute after generation, minimizing exposure risk. Additionally, real-time verification by government agencies relies on an encrypted authentication value based on blockchain DID (Decentralized Identifier), ensuring privacy protection and preventing tampering.
Shinsegae Duty Free anticipates expanding its collaboration with LordSystem beyond mobile passport services. LordSystem, known for its strengths in various mobile authentication services for foreign visitors, could potentially extend its cooperation to other tourism-related services.
To celebrate the launch of the mobile passport service, Shinsegae Duty Free is offering an 8% discount coupon for customers using the service at its offline stores (located in Myeongdong, Busan, and Incheon Airport) starting from July 1st.
Furthermore, LordSystem will reward the first 2,000 users of Shinsegae Duty Free’s mobile passport service with TripPay, a cash-like digital currency worth 5,000 KRW, usable at affiliated merchants nationwide.
A Shinsegae Duty Free representative stated, “By eliminating the inconvenience of carrying physical passports, we expect to enhance the shopping experience for both domestic and international tourists.” The representative added, “Shinsegae Duty Free remains committed to creating an integrated environment where tourism and shopping seamlessly intersect.”
