Foreign nationals do not need to go through the identity verification process.
- Foreign nationals can access mature content by enabling the “Settings > Account” option for “Mature content access for foreign nationals.”
- By enabling this feature, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that viewing mature content is legal in your country of residence. Please note that even with this feature enabled, certain posts may still be restricted.
If you do not see the “Mature content access for foreign nationals” option, it may be because you are being recognized as a Korean user for various reasons:
- Your device OS/browser language is set to Korean.
- You are using an email service primarily for Korean users (such as Naver or Daum).
- Your IP address is being located in Korea.
- You are being recognized as Korean due to another account.
Foreign nationals recognized as Korean can verify their age using a passport.
- Once it is confirmed via passport that you are at least 18 years old, you will be able to access mature content.
- It is difficult to complete identity verification using other IDs such as national ID cards or driver’s licenses.
- Passport verification can be used for only one account per person.
- After you submit your identity verification document, the review will proceed automatically. It may take some time for confirmation to be completed, so please wait a while.
- If verification is rejected, the information you provided will be deleted immediately, and we are unable to inform you of the exact reason for rejection.
How to verify your identity with a passport:
- If you have not yet verified your email, go to Settings > Account > Email verification and complete email verification.
- Check your email address, enter the correct email, and click “Send verification email.” You will receive an email from POSTYPE; click the link in that email to fully activate your account.
- Identity verification > ID verification (for overseas users only). This link is accessible only from outside Korea.
- Enter the correct information and upload a copy of your international passport.
- If you do not have a separate family name, enter a hyphen (-) in the “Family name” field and enter your full name in the “Given name” field.
- If you have a middle name, include it in the “Given name” field.
Reasons why age verification may be rejected:
- You did not mask all personal information other than your photo, family name, given name, nationality, gender, date of birth, and expiration date.
- The information you entered does not exactly match what is written on your passport (especially nationality, middle name, and names including spaces or hyphens).
- You did not select the exact country name that matches your nationality.
- You uploaded another type of ID that is not valid for international air travel (for example, passport cards, national ID cards, driver’s licenses, student IDs, etc.).
- Your personal information is blurred or unclear due to light reflection.
- Your passport appears to be altered, expired, forged, or reported as stolen.
