23 Does the Government have plans to accept the NHRCK recommendation regarding the request for communication data and modify related laws, such as making court permission mandatory, accordingly? 19. Regarding the Resident Registration Number In Korea, a resident registration number is issued at birth which is valid until death, but problems of leakage have been arising. During the 2008 UPR evaluation, the UNHRC recommended the Korean government to “limit the uses of registration numbers to those strictly necessary for the provision of public services”(provision 64-13) and the NHRCK also recommended in 2014 to limit the use of resident registration numbers. However, the Government is not fully accepting this recommendation. Although the Government is gradually prohibiting the on-line and off-line use of resident registration numbers that do not have a legal basis for usage, many laws that allow the on and off-line use of resident registration numbers are appearing. This includes matters such as verifying the grounds for disqualification when evaluating the executives of institutions, declaring or registrating businesses, issuing various qualification certificates or processing financial services. As of November 2014, there were over 1,000 laws that allowed the use of resident registration numbers (para.253-255). Question Does the Government have plans to accept the recommendations of the NHRCK?
