Foreign nationals do not need to complete identity verification.
- Foreign nationals only need to enable “Mature content viewing for foreigners” under Settings > Account to view mature content.
- By enabling this feature, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that viewing mature content is legal in your country/region of residence. Please note that even with this feature enabled, some content may still be restricted.
If you cannot find the “Mature content viewing for foreigners” option, you may have been recognized as a Korean user for the following reasons:
- The language of your device or browser operating system is set to Korean.
- You are using an email service intended for Korean users, such as Naver or Daum.
- There is a record of access from an IP address within Korea.
- You were recognized as Korean based on another account.
Foreign users recognized as Koreans can only use a passport for age verification.
- Once your passport confirms that you are at least 19 years old, you can view mature content.
- Other IDs such as ID cards or driver’s licenses are not accepted.
- Each person can verify only one account with their passport.
- After you submit your passport, the system will automatically review it. This may take some time, so please wait patiently.
- If your verification is rejected, the submitted data will be deleted immediately to protect your personal information, so we cannot provide the specific reason for rejection.
Follow these steps to submit your passport for verification:
- If you have not yet completed email verification, please go to Settings > Account > Email verification first. Confirm or enter your correct email address, click “Send verification email,” then click the link in the email sent by POSTYPE to complete activation.
- Click Verify identity > ID document verification (for overseas users only). This page can only be accessed from outside Korea.
- Enter your information exactly as shown on your passport and upload a copy of your passport.
- If your passport does not have a “Surname” field, please enter a hyphen (-).
- If you have a middle name, include it in the “Given Name” field together with your given name.
Your verification may be rejected in the following cases:
- Personal information other than your photo, surname, given name, nationality, gender, date of birth, and passport expiry date is not masked (all submitted pages must be masked).
- The information you entered does not exactly match the information on your passport (especially nationality, middle name, and names containing spaces or hyphens).
- You did not select the correct country name that matches your nationality.
- You submitted documents that cannot be used for international travel, such as a Passport Card, ID card, driver’s license, or student ID.
- Your personal information cannot be identified due to image blur or glare.
- Your passport is damaged or expired, or appears to be forged or stolen.
