  1. Memorialized Profile menu

    In [KakaoTalk Settings > Personal/Security > Memorialized Profile], you can personally decide how your KakaoTalk will be managed after your passing. You can choose to leave it as a memorial profile or set restrictions, and these settings will remain in place for 10 years.

    1. Leaving a Memorial Profile
    A legacy contact pre-designated by you will be responsible for converting your account to a memorial profile after your passing.

    1) Simplified Documentation
    While applying for a memorial profile as immediate family might require up to five different documents, having a pre-designated legacy contact enables conversion with just a death certificate.

    2) Support for Conversion by a Close Friend
    You can appoint a close friend, who is not an immediate family member, as your legacy contact to manage the conversion to a memorial profile. Ensure the friend can submit a death certificate and is trustworthy.

    3) Authority Granted to the legacy contact
    Once converted to a memorial profile, the legacy contact will have the right to modify your profile for 49 days. They can also access a final letter written by you, meant only for them, before your passing.

    * If the information on the deceased’s KakaoTalk does not match the documentation, additional documents may be requested. Also, financial claim refunds and account deactivation are not possible when a legacy contact manages the conversion.



    2. Restricting a Memorial Profile
    If you wish not to have your KakaoTalk converted into a memorial profile posthumously, set it to 'Restrict Memorial Profile'. Even if family members apply after your passing, the conversion will not be possible, and your pre-death wishes will be communicated. However, if the phone number used in your lifetime is discontinued, resulting in expired verification, or if the family requests the deletion of the deceased's account, your KakaoTalk may be deactivated. After deactivation, your profile will appear to friends as 'unknown'.

    A memorial profile is one way to offer solace to your friends who remain after you're gone. We suggest discussing it with close family and friends before deciding.

  2. 1. Simplified Process for Memorial Profile Conversion
    After the requester's death, the legacy contact can proceed with the conversion to a memorial profile. As a legacy contact, you can bypass submitting family relationship certificates, telecom provider documentation, and a copy of your ID, and proceed with just the death certificate of the deceased.


    2. Authority to Modify the Profile for 49 Days After Conversion
    Modify the Profile
    Once the requester’s account is converted to a memorial profile, the legacy contact is notified and granted the authority to make changes on behalf of the deceased. This includes editing the profile picture, background image, and status message. Note that upon modification, existing profile features like music, D-Day countdown, and stickers will be removed. After 49 days, this authority expires, and the last posted profile will be maintained throughout the memorial period.


    3. Access to the Last Letter
    Access to the Last Letter
    The requester can write a final letter to the legacy contact during their lifetime. This letter is shared with the legacy contact when the profile is converted and can be accessed throughout the memorial period.
  3. We recommend appointing someone close to you and trustworthy over a long period as your memorial profile legacy contact.

    The legacy contact needs to submit the death certificate of the requester and will have the authority to change the deceased’s profile for a set period after the conversion.

    Additionally, if the deceased’s KakaoTalk information does not match the death certificate, further documentation may be required. Therefore, it's advisable to appoint a family member or a close acquaintance who can easily manage document issuance and receipt.

  4. write a last letter

    The 'Last Letter' is a message intended to be sent to your memorial profile legacy contact after your passing. You can compose this letter if you have chosen to leave a memorial profile in the 'Memorial Profile Settings,' with support for up to 1,000 characters. This 'Last Letter' will be delivered to your legacy contact at the time your KakaoTalk is converted into a memorial profile.

    Since the legacy contact has the authority to modify your KakaoTalk profile after your death, you can use this letter to share your thoughts about your final profile or to express gratitude and feelings towards your surviving family and friends.

    Please note that the 'Last Letter' does not have any legal effect.
