Recently, many counterfeit residence cards have been circulated, and employers need to confirm the validity of the cards when hiring foreign staff.
For this reason, it is said to inquire about validity of residence card number, but it is difficult to confirm the information because a counterfeit card is created using the valid residence card number and the expiration date that actually exist.
With the function of the service, the app can automatically read information only by taking pictures of both sides of the residence card.
