Regardless of nationality, anyone aged 14 or over may submit their passport details to manually complete identity verification. Please submit an inquiry to our Help Center if you require assistance with manual passport verification.

Important Notes

• In accordance with the Terms of Service, existing identity verification records cannot be cancelled or altered.
• Identity verification is limited to one account per person.
• To operate as an artist, artist verification is additionally required after passport verification, and this must be completed using a domestic (Korean) bank account.
• If a domestic bank account can not be verified after completing passport verification, acting as an artist is not possible.
• Following Articles 16 and 25 of the Passport Act, using another person's passport or a forged passport for identity verification may result in legal sanctions including imprisonment for up to two years or a fine not exceeding 20 million won.

Passport Verification Cancellation and Re-verification

✔️ Passport verification expires one full year (365 days) after approval. Please re-verify using the same name as before.

• You can continue using CREPE even if verification expires. However, access to adult content commissions will be restricted, the verification badge next to your profile will disappear, and artist activities may be limited.
