Japan8/10

Government-issued ID verification is mandatory.

What Users Say

Omiai is one of Japan's most established marriage-focused dating platforms, with over 10 million cumulative members and 100+ million matches made. The app occupies a unique space between traditional Japanese matchmaking and modern dating, requiring detailed profiles that include profession, income, education, and marriage aspirations. Mandatory government ID verification and 24/7 monitoring create a high-trust environment rarely found on Western apps. Women use Omiai entirely free, while men pay for messaging access. The 24-filter search system lets users narrow by income, nationality, education, and body type. On the downside, the app is Japanese-only with no English interface, and a 2021 security incident was widely reported to have exposed user identity documents — reported figures have ranged into the millions of records, and the operator has stated it took remedial measures (per news reports; not independently verified by DateAtlas), a history worth weighing for the security-conscious. The app organizes occasional offline matchmaking events and is not LGBTQ-inclusive, showing only opposite-gender results. (AI-researched summary — not verified from hands-on review.)
