What is identity verification?
- Identity verification is the process of legally verifying that a given POSTYPE account belongs to you. This is different from confirming whether you are an adult.
- Once identity verification is complete, you can easily recover your account in Find account if it is ever lost. We recommend completing identity verification regardless of whether you are an adult.
- Users whose adult status has been confirmed through identity verification can go to [Settings] > [Account] and turn on the "View mature content" setting to publish or view mature posts. By limiting the use of mature content to users whose adult status has been confirmed, we are legally protecting creators.
- To request a withdrawal of your POSTYPE earnings, you must first complete identity verification via 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 the email for your POSTYPE account, you will be required to complete identity verification to maintain a safe service environment.
How to complete identity verification
- Identity verification is only available for accounts that have completed email verification. If your account has not yet been verified by email, please complete email verification first.
- On the web, go to [My menu] > [Settings] > [Account] and click "Identity verification and mature content settings". Then choose a verification method and complete identity verification.
- In the app, go to [My menu] > [Settings] > [Account], then tap "Identity verification" to be redirected to a web page. On the web page, select a verification method and complete identity verification.

Important notes
- You cannot cancel your identity verification record or change the verified name or account.
- You can complete identity verification for up to 2 accounts under a single name. To verify additional accounts, you must delete an account that is already verified.
- Under applicable laws, once 1 year has passed since you completed identity verification, you must complete re-verification with the same name. (Users with non-Korean nationality are exempt.)
- If the name used for identity verification is in English but the account holder name for your bank account is in Korean, causing a mismatch that makes verification difficult, please contact the Help Center.
- If you are currently residing in Korea but your account is set as a foreign user account, please contact the Help Center.
