What Do You Need to Prepare Before Registering?
Before you start the registration process, prepare the following materials to avoid interruptions:
| Material Type | Specific Content | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Email or Phone Number | Commonly used email / phone number | Used to receive verification codes; email is recommended |
| ID Document | ID card (front and back) or passport | Required for KYC; the photo must be clear |
| Facial Recognition | Phone camera | Requires real-time capture; cannot be replaced by a photo |
| Network Environment | Stable internet connection | A specific network may be needed in some regions |
Detailed Registration Steps
Visit the Binance official registration link. Registering through this link grants you a permanent 20% fee discount.
Choose to register with an email or phone number, enter it, and click "Create Account".
The system will send a 6-digit verification code to your email or phone. Enter the code on the page to complete verification.
Password requirements: At least 8 characters, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.
It is recommended to use a password manager to generate and store it. Do not use easily guessable passwords like your birthday or phone number.
After logging in, the system will guide you through identity verification (KYC). This is a necessary step for using Binance and has two levels:
- Basic Verification (Lv.1): Fill in your name, nationality, date of birth, and upload a photo of your ID document
- Advanced Verification (Lv.2): Complete facial recognition to unlock higher withdrawal limits
It is recommended to complete the advanced verification directly to avoid restrictions later.
After registration, do not deposit funds immediately. First, complete the security settings:
- Enable Google Authenticator (2FA)
- Set up an anti-phishing code
- Bind your phone number (if you registered with an email)
Depositing funds only after completing the security settings can significantly reduce the risk of account theft.
Common KYC Issues
What if the verification status shows "Under Review"?
It is usually completed within 1-2 hours, but during peak times it may take up to 24 hours. If it hasn't been approved after 48 hours, you can contact customer support or resubmit.
What if my ID photo is rejected?
Common reasons: blurry photo, glare, cropped corners, or expired document. When retaking the photo, ensure good lighting, place the document flat, and do not cover it with your hands.
What if facial recognition fails?
Make sure the lighting is good, face the camera directly, and do not wear glasses or a hat. If it fails multiple times, try again at a different time or on a different device.
Can users in Mainland China register?
Binance has suspended registration for users in Mainland China. If you are in another region, you can register normally.
