# Here's how to verify recipient’s identity in South Korea

1. The recipient will receive a verification link via **KakaoTalk/SMS**.
2. Open the link, select **Verify**, and choose the same ID type that was used to open the recipient's bank account. Accepted ID types:
    * Korean recipients: Resident Registration Card or Driver's License only.
    * Foreign recipients: Passport only.
3. Enter the recipient's ID details, then click **Next**.
4. Upload a photo of the recipient's ID (not a scanned photo), then tap **Next**.
5. Confirm the bank account by inputting the last 4 digits of the recipient's bank account number.
6. The recipient will receive KRW 1 in their bank account. Please ask the recipient to check their transaction history and input the 4 unique codes after the letter "S", example: S**1234**.
If the recipient doesn't have e-banking, they can check the unique codes from:
    * Their bank account book.
    * The ATM machine (without having to print out the account book).
    * The customer service of the recipient's bank.

The verification process will take **1x24 hours (banking days only)**, and your money will be deposited directly into the recipient’s bank account once the verification is successful.


PS:
* Once the recipient receives the verification link, please make sure they can get their ID successfully verified within 72 hours after the transaction is created.
* The recipient doesn't need to download any other app and only has to verify their identity from the link through KakaoTalk/SMS. Therefore, please make sure that the recipient’s phone number is active.
* The recipient should be 14 years or older.
