- As of September 16, 2020, temporary restrictions have been placed on registering bank accounts and adding money to LINE Pay for some banks.
- If you see a message saying that service has been restricted after selecting your bank account, please consider verifying your identity with your smartphone.
- For information on which banks are subject to restrictions and other details, see Notices in the LINE Pay main menu.
To use LINE Money, you need to verify your identity with your smartphone. To do so, go to LINE Pay and tap Settings > Identity verification, and follow the onscreen guidance.
Note:
- If you haven’t set a passcode, you must set one after agreeing to the Terms of Use.
- Your identity verification request will be canceled if you unsuccessfully try to transfer your LINE account (e.g. after changing devices).
- This option may not be available on some devices.
- You need to take a photo of the side of your ID (its thickness). For instructions on how to do so, see
this official LINE Pay blog entry. (Only available in Japanese.)
You can use any of the following photo IDs when verifying your identity.
• Driver's license
• Driving history certificate (運転経歴証明書)
• Japanese passport
Note: Japanese passports without the "Information on Bearer" page are not accepted.
• Individual Number ("My Number") card
Note: Individual Number notification cards are not accepted.
• Residence card
• Special permanent resident certificate
Once you've finished verifying your identity with your smartphone, you'll receive a notification from the LINE Pay identity verification (LINE Pay本人確認) account, and you'll be able to send money and use other LINE Money services.
Note:
- You need to use LINE version 9.6.5 or later (iOS) to verify your identity this way.
- As of September 30, 2021, the option to verify your identity just by linking a bank account is no longer available.
