  2. Check and submit your questionnaire. The submission notification does not mean membership or payment is complete.

STEP 03

Check your choices and visibility

Choose explicit settings rather than an ambiguous Yes/No switch.

Start when

The profile stage during registration or Edit profile on My Page.

What to do

  1. For same-gender visibility, choose Show or Do not show.
  2. The filled radio and Selected label mark your current choice. Answer marriage and de facto partnership preferences separately.
  3. Changed — not saved means you must still press the save button below the form.

Completion check

Saving succeeds and the reopened choices match.

Who acts next

You: continue with remaining tasks. Approval and other existing publication conditions still apply.

If you need help

Same-gender visibility controls eligible members viewing your profile and requesting introductions. It does not publish your profile to the entire internet.

Check your choices and visibility
The radio mark, border and Selected label show the current choice.
After a change, Not saved appears. Press the save button below the form.

Start when

  2. Upload the reverse of your identity document when one exists and accurately declare whether national-qualification evidence applies. Japanese nationals also declare whether education evidence applies.
  3. Korean nationals may upload original Korean-language document images; English versions, translation, and notarization are unnecessary. They do not submit a Japanese single-status certificate, Japanese resident record, or education certificate.

Residents of another country or region

Confirm the advertised USD amount, then use the dedicated page on our site sent to your registered email for card payment, or transfer to the stated JPY account. Do not convert the amount yourself.

What to do

  1. For card payment, open the dedicated page on our site from your registered email, confirm the advertised amount, final JPY charge and terms, then use the page button to proceed to AXES Payment.

If you need help

If the amount or currency differs, or the dedicated payment page is missing or unavailable, do not pay and contact your concierge.

Important notes for each payment status

Payment result pending

Do not start another card payment or bank transfer until the result is final.

Transfer reported and awaiting confirmation

Bank-transfer confirmation usually takes two to three business days after your report. Do not transfer the same amount again while confirmation is pending.

Initial payment not completed

Do not submit the same payment repeatedly. Check the retry instructions in My Page and the email from the support team.

Monthly-payment review shown

This concerns a monthly payment after registration. Do not restart initial registration; follow the instructions in My Page or the email from the support team.

No payment method shown yet

Check My Page and your registered email and wait for the instructions. Do not send an amount you calculated yourself.

STEP 07

Paid: Wait for payment confirmation and final approval

Card results can take a short time to appear. For eligible non-Korean residents only, bank transfers are usually confirmed within two to three business days after the report. Even after payment or receipt is confirmed, full-member features are enabled only after the support team finishes its final review and approval of your registration details.

Start when

Start after completing card payment, or after an eligible non-Korean resident submits a transfer report.

What to do

  1. Return to My Page after closing the completion screen.
  2. Eligible non-Korean residents who used bank transfer should confirm the payment-under-review message.

Frequently asked questions

The questionnaire does not appear after the invitation.

Sign out and sign in again. If it still does not appear, tell your concierge your registered name and email address.

I cannot upload a required-document image.

Check the supported format, file size, and pixel count, and use a non-animated still image on a stable connection. Do not send document images directly by email or chat.

How long does review take?

Usually within three business days after submission. We will email you if anything needs confirmation.

I cannot use my dedicated payment page.

Do not repeat the payment from the same URL. Send the displayed message to your concierge and ask for fresh guidance. The emailed URL is a page on our site, not a fixed AXES Payment URL.

I cannot tell whether card payment succeeded.

Do not start another payment. Check My Page and your registered email, then contact your concierge if the result still does not appear.

What should I do after a bank transfer?

Eligible non-Korean residents who were shown bank-transfer instructions should submit the transfer report and confirm the payment-under-review message. Residents of South Korea cannot use bank transfer.
