How to verify with i-PIN
- [Settings] > [Account] > click Identity verification and mature content settings and select i-PIN as the verification method.
- Enter your i-PIN ID and password, complete secondary verification, and finish identity verification.
※ If you do not have an i-PIN, Korean nationals and overseas Koreans who have been issued a resident registration number or foreign registration number that has not yet been cancelled, as well as foreigners residing in Korea, can obtain an i-PIN while abroad.
※ If i-PIN verification is not possible, please complete verification via card or ID (passport) instead.
※ In accordance with relevant 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 from abroad
Issuing an i-PIN using a joint certificate or financial certificate
- Visit the nearest overseas mission with your ID and request the issuance of a joint certificate or financial certificate.
- Use your joint certificate or financial certificate to get an i-PIN issued from NICE Information Service, Seoul Credit Rating & Information, Korea Credit Bureau (KCB).
※ If you enable the "block overseas login" option when issuing your i-PIN, you will not be able to access it from abroad, so please be careful.
