How to verify using i-PIN

Settings > Account, then click 'Identity verification and mature content settings', and select 'i-PIN' under identity verification methods.
Enter your i-PIN ID and password, complete the secondary verification, and finish identity verification.

※ Even if you do not currently have an i-PIN, you can still get one issued outside of Korea if you meet one of the following conditions.

A Korean national or overseas Korean who has been issued a resident registration number that has not yet been revoked
A foreign national residing in Korea who has been issued a foreigner registration number that has not yet been revoked

※ If i-PIN verification is not possible, please proceed with verification using a i-PIN alternative such as a card or ID (passport).

※ In accordance with applicable laws, POSTYPE only provides identity verification methods that are legally recognized. Other methods such as overseas credit cards are not supported.

How to newly issue an i-PIN outside of Korea

Issuing an i-PIN using a joint certificate or financial certificate

Visit the nearest overseas mission with your ID to get a joint certificate or financial certificate issued.
Use your joint certificate or financial certificate to visit NICE Information Service, Seoul Credit Rating & Information, Korea Credit Bureau (KCB) to have an i-PIN issued.

※ If you enable the 'block overseas logins' option when issuing your i-PIN, you will not be able to access it from outside Korea, so please keep this in mind.
