What is ID verification?

• If you are a Korean residing abroad or a foreign national recognized as Korean who cannot complete identity verification via card or i-PIN, you can complete identity verification using your passport, an internationally recognized ID.
• For ID verification, only one account can be verified per legal name.
• The ID verification page is only accessible from outside Korea. Even if you access from abroad, you cannot access it if your account is recognized as a foreign user that supports simple verification. If you wish to switch to a Korean account and then submit your ID, please let us know through Submit a request. However, once your account is changed to a Korean account in the system, it cannot be switched back to a foreign account.
• On accounts verified with an ID, creator verification is not available. If you wish to complete identity verification via one of Toss, mobile phone, i-PIN, or credit card under the same legal name used for your existing ID verification, please let us know through Submit a request.
• Under our Terms of Service, existing identity verification records cannot be canceled or changed.
• Users determined to have Korean accounts can submit their ID only if they are at least 20 years old in Korean age (recognized as an adult from January 1 of the year they turn 19 in international age), regardless of nationality.
• Once you submit your ID for verification, the review process starts automatically. It may take some time to complete verification, so please wait a little.
• If your ID verification is rejected, the submitted information is immediately deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy, so we cannot inform you of the precise reason for rejection.
• Under Articles 16 and 25 of the Passport Act, if you attempt identity verification using another person’s passport or a forged passport, you may be subject to legal penalties including imprisonment of up to 2 years or a fine of up to 20 million KRW, so please be careful.

解除 of ID verification

• Even if your identity verification is lifted, you can continue to use POSTYPE, but only features related to mature content will be restricted.

How to complete ID verification

1. Go to [Verify identity] > [ID verification (for overseas users only)] and enter all information exactly as it appears in your passport.
2. Attach and submit a copy of your passport where all information except for your photo, surname, given name, date of birth, gender, country name, and expiry date is masked (including the information printed at the bottom of the passport).

Examples of ID verification rejection

• If you do not mask all information except for your photo, surname, given name, date of birth, gender, country name, and expiry date (you must mask the passport number, resident registration number, and the information at the bottom of the passport on all submitted pages)
• If your surname and given name are not entered exactly as written in the passport (spaces and hyphens must match precisely)
  • If your full name does not make it clear which part is the surname, enter “-” in the “Surname” field and enter your full name in the “Given name” field.
• If the middle name shown in your passport is omitted
  • If you have a middle name, be sure to include it correctly in the “Given name” field.
• If the selected country name does not exactly match your nationality
• If you attach an ID other than a passport (passport card, domestic resident registration card or alien registration card, international driver’s license, overseas ID, various certificates, etc.)
• If the passport is blurry or light reflection makes it impossible to verify the information accurately
• If the passport is damaged or expired
• If the passport appears to be stolen or forged
