Identity verification validity period

In accordance with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family guidelines and related laws, POSTYPE must re-check each year whether users are adults and the actual person when providing harmful media to youth (mature content). Identity verification remains valid for 1 year (365 days).

Once 1 full year (365 days) has passed from the time you complete identity verification, you must be verified again under the same name as before. Under our Terms of Use, you cannot cancel or change an existing identity verification record.

As long as the identity information (name holder) is the same, there will be no issue with re-verification even if you have changed your name, your carrier or mobile phone number, your card issuer or card number, or if you use a different verification method than before. Settings > Account Check the previously verified name under “Identity verification result,” and make sure you are trying to verify using the Toss, mobile phone, i-PIN, or card belonging to that person.

However, if your resident registration number has been changed or voided due to a correction of nationality, date of birth, gender, etc., we can help you verify with the updated information once you submit the documents below and we have checked them.

1. A copy of a resident registration abstract issued within the last 3 months that shows the fact of resident registration number correction and your name and date of birth
2. A copy of an ID that shows your current information (name, date of birth, gender). Be sure to mask (hide) the last digits of your resident registration number, leaving only the date of birth visible.

• For administrative processing, please send the ID copy without masking the photo on the ID.

You can verify up to 2 accounts under a single name. Even if the identity verification validity period for an existing account has expired and you have not completed re-verification, you cannot verify an additional account under the same name until you Delete account for that existing account.

When your identity verification expires

Even if your identity verification is removed due to expiration, we do not send notifications such as text messages or emails. You will be asked to re-verify when you use features related to mature content, such as viewing, publishing, or republishing mature posts.

You can continue to use POSTYPE even after the validity period expires. However, when identity verification has been removed, some features related to mature content are restricted as follows:

• You cannot view mature posts published by others, or leave likes or comments on them.
• You can no longer publish mature posts yourself.
• Likes you previously left on mature posts are not automatically removed. Even without re-verifying, you can go to Library > Likes, open the original post, and remove your like.
• Comments you previously left on mature posts are not automatically deleted. If you do not re-verify, you cannot view or delete your comments from the original post, but you can view and delete your own comments from Library > Comments.
