From what I have seen, the receipt paper is less like a real substitute ID and more like supporting evidence when the staff already wants to help. Some carrier shops and bank branches will at least start the conversation if you bring the receipt, passport, and proof of address together, but in Korea it still feels very branch-dependent. I would go in expecting “maybe partial progress” rather than a full setup day.
