※ POSTYPE only provides identity verification methods permitted by applicable law. Other methods such as international credit cards are not supported.
How to newly issue an i-PIN from overseas
Issuing an i-PIN using a joint certificate or financial certificate
- Bring your ID and visit the nearest overseas mission to have a joint certificate or financial certificate issued.
