Chingu Mobile can now extend you plan remotely! You can enjoy the discounted price extension without visiting the store!

 

However, it is necessary to do online verification  with Naver or Kakao to do remote extension. Let's find out how to make a verified Naver account to make the process smoother!

 

Before you start making your Naver Certificate, make sure your phone number is linked to your ARC (Alien Registration Card, 외국인 등록증). If you are not sure it is linked, ask Chingu Mobile staff for help~

You will also need a Korean bank account with a mobile app ready for this.

 

1. Naver App

To make a Naver account and verify online we'll need the app:

Android

1. Open Google Play → search “네이버 NAVER” → install the app published by NAVER Corp. Google Play

iPhone

1. Open the App Store → search “네이버 NAVER” → get the app published by NAVER Corp.

 

 

2. Creating a Naver account

• Open the NAVER app → tap 로그인 (Log in) → 회원가입 (Sign up).

• Read/agree to the terms (필수 항목).

• Create your ID (username) and password.

• Enter your legal name and date of birth exactly as they appear on your ARC.

• Add a mobile number → tap 인증 to receive an SMS* → enter the code.

• Finish sign-up.

*If you don’t receive the verification text, check spam/SMS filters and try again; NAVER’s official SMS sender is 1588-3820.

See NAVER’s “failure to receive verification text” help if issues persist.

 

3. Issuing Naver Certificate

• Open NAVER app → go to 마이 (MY) tab.

• Tap 신원인증 (or go ≡ → 서비스검색 → “인증서”).

• Choose 인증서 발급 (Issue certificate).

• Follow the on-screen 본인확인 steps: select your carrier (KT알뜰폰/LGU+알뜰폰), enter your details, agree to terms, receive/enter the SMS code.

 

 

• Complete bank account verification (a small deposit code step) to finalize issuance:

• Choose your bank

• Enter the bank account details

• NAVER will send 1원 to the account you entered. The incoming transfer’s depositor name will look like: 네이버**** (네이버 + 4 digits). Check your bank app / internet banking / ATM transaction history to find that 1원 deposit.

• Enter the 4 digits in the Naver app and proceed

• Set a 6-digit certificate PIN and enable biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID) when offered.

 

All done! You now have a Naver Certificate that you can use for online verification!
