Want a Daum account?

The Requirement

A mobile number! You can use any number as long as it is not yet registered to Daum. Also, please make sure that you can receive a text message.

CREATING a Daum Account

You can use a tablet, smartphone, or whatever to register, though the Daum website may look differently compared to the below pictures which were taken from Internet Explorer.

1. Go to www.daum.net.

2. Click the 회원가입 (Sign Up) link inside the Login box.

3. Select “휴대폰 번호로 가입” on the next page. It means to sign up using a mobile number (local or foreign number).

4. On the next page, tick the checkboxes to agree to the terms of service, then click 동의하기 (Agree) button.

5. Fill out the registration form. Please refrain from idling for a couple of minutes, or else, you have to start again from the beginning.

First box (Daum ID): Enter your preferred username or ID. No guideline was shown on-screen, but a combination of lowercase and numbers are OK.

Second Box (Password): Create a password consisting of at least 8 characters. You can use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

Third Box (Re-enter Password): Just type in your password again.

Fourth Box (Name): Type in your name. E.g. John Smith. You can put a space between your first and last name and you can also use Hangul. First name-only is fine.

Fifth Box (Mobile Number): The country code will be matched with your IP address. Thus, just type your digits in the box provided, then click on 인증 (Certify button). You should receive a text message containing a code afterward.

Sixth Box (Certification Number): Enter the code from the text message, then click on 확인 (Confirm) button. You have ten minutes to complete this. The code is usually sent real-time.

Seventh Box (Email address): This is not required, but I recommend it for account recovery.

6. Lastly, click on 다음단계 (Next Step) button.

Done! You now have an account.

To go back to the Daum home page and to start checking mail or other services like Cafe, Music, tvPot, et cetera, just click on 서비스로 돌아가기.

Your email format from Daum is yourusernamehere@daum.net.

Tip: Error message “유효시간이 초과되거나, 잘못된 접근입니다. 처음부터 다시 시도해 주세요.” means you have to go back to Step 1 or 2, while “[Mobile number] 입력하신 번호로 인증번호를 발송합니다. 번호가 정확한지 확인해 주세요.” means the mobile number must be authenticated. Just press OK to proceed.

Good news! Creating a Naver account has been made easier.

Naver Corporation introduced a new registration process for us who live outside Korea. If their system determined that you’re from another country, it would show the English registration form automatically. That’s why there’s no need for a third-party translator.

Creating a Naver Account

In order to register, an active mobile number is required. Make sure that you can receive a text message.

You can sign up using a smartphone, tablet, or whatever device, however, please note that the Naver website may show differently compared to the screenshots below.

1. Go to www.naver.com.

2. Click the 회원가입 [Sign up] link below the “Sign in” button.

3. Click Join on the next page.

4. Provide or select the required information. Here’s your guideline:

• Username: Use any combination of the lower case [a to z], numbers and underscore. It should be at least 5 characters. You’ll see “Welcome!” if it is available for use.
• Password: You can use upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols. It should be at least 6 characters up to 16.
• First and Last Name: You can use English or Hangul.
• Gender: Select one. :)
• Birth Date: Type in your birth year followed by the month and date.
• Recovery Email: I recommend that you provide an email address, preferably Gmail, for recovery purposes in the future.
• Mobile Number: Select the appropriate country code in the drop-down menu, then type your digits in the box beside it.

5. Click the “Verify” button. You will receive a text message from Naver afterward which contains the 6-digit verification code.

Please wait for the text message within 15 minutes. If you did not receive it, verify the number or try to use another one.

6. Type the verification code in the last box, then click the “Confirm” button. The system will tell you if the verification is successful.

7. Depending on the system, it may require you to answer a CAPTCHA.

8. Click the Sign Up button and that’s it!

“Sign up is limited temporarily.“, or “Sign-up has been limited.” may mean that the system blocked sign-up attempt from your IP address.

One Login for Different Services

Aside from Mail, you can use your account to access other Naver services such as Me, Blog, Game, Café, Office, Memo, NDrive, Calendar, Web Novel, Manhwa [Comics], KiN, et cetera.

Naver will require you to complete the identity verification via i-PIN or using a mobile phone before you can purchase or download items.
