If you have lived in Korea for a long time, you know that certificates are often used in Korea, for log-in purposes or for payment authorization. In another article, we talked about the 공동인증서(구 공인인증서) Digital Certificate or Digital signature if you are interested in that one, then check that article, however, today we will talk about Kakao and Naver certificates. Those are pretty similar, and most governmental websites do use them to log in.
Let's see what these two mean, and how to activate and use them!
Kakao Talk certificate (카카오 인증)
The KakaoTalk wallet contains certificates, ID cards, and simple payment information. KakaoTalk wallet can be found in the KakaoTalk More tab (3 dots in the lower bar), when you open it, it will be the above-written Wallet.
Before you may use the wallet, you must agree to the terms and conditions and confirm your identity. Kakao certificates, different credentials, and ID cards are all kept in the wallet. In cases where personal identity, authentication, and digital signature are necessary, users can utilize the Kakao certificate in the wallet instead of the existing public certificate.
After you have activated your bank, next to the wallet will be a certificate sign, that you can press. When you press it, you have to agree with the terms and conditions and then put in your phone number. You will receive a code to input. After inputting the code, the certificate will be given to you. Keep in mind that you will have to have a phone number on your own name (the same as on your ID card, Bank, and passport), the ID card, and also activate the wallet on Kakao Talk.
