Gov't Rolls Out System to Register Name in Five Seconds 唐鳳領軍推簡訊實聯制 不收費掃QR Code

It takes about 10 to 20 seconds to fill in one's name and phone number via mobile phone. Due to the escalating epidemic situation, stores have begun requiring people to register their real names before entry, in addition to undergoing temperature screenings and disinfecting their hands. Those who aren't familiar with mobile phones can physically jot down their information. This requires frequent disinfection of the pen. Moreover, some people's handwriting is illegible. These are issues that locations are encountering with the real name registration system. The Executive Yuan has therefore announced the launch of a system to expedite the process.
 

In theory, it will take under five seconds to scan it. If the scan is successful, then the box for a text will automatically appear. Press send, and you're done.
 

To register, scan a store's QR code with your mobile phone. Click on the link, and then send the text. The entire process should take about five seconds. People can also click on a button for the system found in a LINE group set up by the Centers for Disease Control and follow the instructions. Those whose phones aren't capable of taking pictures can send texts. They should type "1922" and then add the store's code.
 

The only information that telecoms will know is what time you sent the text. The content of the text is just three lines. The telecoms will delete everything after 28 days.

This system can be used by stores, government offices, and transport providers. Transportation and Communications Minister Wang Kwo-tsai said the system has already been set up at all high speed rail stations and Taiwan Railways and intercity bus companies are following suit.
 

There are 12 high speed rail stations, all finished setting up the system before noon today and it's already operational. As for Taiwan Railways' 239 stations, the four major stations in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Hualien also finished setting it up before noon today. The other 235 will complete it and go online before 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Tang said the texts are sent for free, and there is no need to download any apps. The only thing people will need to do is scan a QR code. The system is being set up at government offices first, and stores will also be able to download what they need to set it up themselves, although it is not mandatory.
