What is identity verification?
- Identity verification is a process to legally verify that a POSTYPE account belongs to you. This is different from adult verification.
- Once your account is verified, you can easily recover it through Find account if you lose access to it. We recommend completing identity verification regardless of whether you are an adult.
- If your identity verification confirms that you are an adult, you can go to [Settings] > [Account] and enable the “View adult content” setting to publish or view adult posts. By allowing only verified adults to access adult content, we legally protect creators.
- To withdraw your POSTYPE earnings, you must first complete identity verification through Toss, mobile phone, card, or i-PIN (ID card verification not available), and then proceed with creator verification.
- If you use a one-time email domain that cannot pass stability checks as your POSTYPE registration email, you will be required to complete identity verification to maintain a safe service environment.Identity verification is required.
How to verify your identity
- You can complete identity verification only if your account email has been verified. If your email is not verified yet, please complete email verification first.
- On the web, go to [My Menu] > [Settings] > [Account] and click “Identity verification & adult content settings”, then choose a verification method and complete the process.
- In the app, go to [My Menu] > [Settings] > [Account] and tap “Identity verification” to be redirected to a web page. On the web page, select a verification method and complete the process.

Notes
- You cannot cancel your identity verification record or change the verified name or account.
- Each real name can be used to verify up to 2 accounts. To verify an additional account, you must delete one of the accounts that has already been verified.
- Under relevant laws, once 1 year has passed since you completed identity verification, you must go through reverification with the same name. (Users with foreign nationality are exempt.)
- If your identity verification name is in English but the account holder name for your bank account is in Korean and this name mismatch makes verification difficult, please contact the Help Center.
- If you currently live in Korea but your account is set as a foreign user account, please contact the Help Center.
