National identity card	Although it is not compulsory to carry a proof of identity at all times, since 1 January 2005 it is compulsory to show identification, when an authorized officer asks for it, from the age of 14. An authorized officer can only do so under certain circumstances. Such circumstances include suspicious behaviour, committing any offense, or if a person is interviewed as a witness of a crime. Identity checks at events where the public order may be in danger are also allowed. Otherwise random identity checks by the police are not allowed in principle but can happen in certain areas such as a train station or doubtful areas i.e. redlight district, and a fine for not showing proof of identity may be successfully challenged in such cases. The fine for not being able to show proof of identity when legally required is \u20ac 60.- (16 and over) or \u20ac 30.- (14 or 15). Proof of identity is also required when opening a bank account and when entering an employment contract.	Korean citizens are issued a national ID card when reaching adulthood (typically when he/she reaches the age of 19 under East Asian age reckoning ). This card will have a unique "Citizen's Registration Number" ( jumin deungnok beonho ; Korean : \uc8fc\ubbfc\ub4f1\ub85d\ubc88\ud638 - see main article Resident registration number (South Korea) ). The first six numbers indicate the citizen's date of birth, while the last seven numbers includes information such as where the birth was registered. This number is used by Korean citizens for all forms of record-keeping, including online.
