Verification validity period
In accordance with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family guidelines and related laws, we are required to re-check a user’s age and identity once a year when providing youth-harmful media (adult content). Once completed, identity verification remains valid for 1 year (365 days).
After a full year (365 days) has passed from the time you completed identity verification, you must re-verify using the same name as before. Under our Terms of Use, existing identity verification records cannot be canceled or changed.
As long as the name on record is the same as before —even if you have changed your legal name or, your mobile carrier·phone number has changed or, your card issuer·card number has changed, or you use a different verification method than before, re-verification will still work without any issues. [Settings] > [Account] and check the ‘Verification result’ to confirm the name currently on file. Then make sure you are trying to verify using that person’s Toss account, mobile phone, i-PIN, or card.
However, if your resident registration number has been changed or voided due to a correction of your nationality·date of birth·gender etc., please submit the documents below so that we can review them and then help you complete identity verification with your updated information.
- A copy of a resident registration transcript issued within the last 3 months that shows the correction history of your resident registration number and confirms your name and date of birth
- A copy of an ID that confirms your current information (name, date of birth, gender). Be sure to mask (cover) the last digits of your resident registration number except for the date of birth.
- Because this is used in place of in-person public service procedures, please do not mask (cover) the photo on your ID.
You can verify up to 2 accounts with a single name. Even if the verification validity period for an existing account has expired and you have not re-verified, you cannot verify an additional account with the same name until you delete that account.
When your verification has expired
Even if your identity verification is canceled because it has expired, we do not send notifications via text message, email, etc. You will be asked to re-verify when you use features related to adult content, such as viewing, publishing, or republishing adult posts.
You can continue to use POSTYPE even after your verification has expired. However, while your verification is inactive, some adult-content-related features will be restricted as follows:
- You cannot view or leave likes/comments on adult posts published by others.
- You can no longer publish adult posts yourself.
- Likes you previously left on adult posts will not be 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 adult posts will not be automatically deleted. If you have not re-verified, you will not be able to view or delete your comments from the original post, but you can still view and delete your comments from [Library] > [Comments].
