Before You Register: Check Eligibility First
Being able to open a website does not necessarily mean you are eligible to use every Binance product. Availability depends on your actual country or region of residence, local rules, the Binance entity serving that location and the products currently offered there.
On the official registration page, select or confirm your real location and read any eligibility notice before continuing. If your location is not supported, do not enter a false address, borrow another person's identity or use someone else's phone number. An email sign-up option does not override regional restrictions or identity checks.
- Use your legal name and real residence details.
- Use an email address or phone number that you personally control long term.
- Check whether the services you want, such as spot trading, card purchases or local payment methods, are available in your region.
- Read the current terms shown during registration; they are more authoritative than any third-party guide.
What to Prepare
| Item | Why You Need It | Important Check |
|---|---|---|
| Email or mobile number | Receives verification and security messages. | Use one you control and protect it with its own strong password. |
| Valid identity document | May be required for identity verification and account access. | The accepted document types are shown for your selected region. |
| Camera-enabled device | Used for document capture and, where required, facial or liveness verification. | Use clear lighting and submit your own unedited documents. |
| Authenticator app or passkey-capable device | Adds protection beyond a password. | Keep backup and recovery details in a safe place. |
How to Create a Binance Account
- Open the official registration page. Type the Binance domain yourself or use a bookmark you have already verified. Check the full domain before entering any password or verification code.
- Confirm your actual location. If the page asks for a country or region of residence, answer truthfully. Follow any product or eligibility notice displayed for that location.
- Choose an offered sign-up method. Depending on the current page and region, Binance may offer email, mobile number or a supported third-party sign-in option. Choose a method you will continue to control.
- Enter the verification code. Retrieve the code from your own email or phone. Never send a one-time code to a person claiming to be support.
- Create a unique password. Do not reuse a password from email, social media or another exchange. A password manager can generate and store a long random password.
- Review the referral field before submitting. If you intentionally used an invite link, check that the displayed referral code is the one you expect. Referral attribution may be locked after registration.
- Complete the required verification and security setup. Do this before funding the account so that identity, login and recovery issues are resolved while the balance is still zero.
Using a Binance Referral Code: What It Does and Does Not Do
A referral link can associate a new account with an inviter. Depending on the current campaign, user eligibility, region and product, the live registration page may describe a benefit. Do not assume a fixed discount, reward, duration or rate. Only the terms displayed on the official page and in your account apply.
If you want to use this site's referral route, open the Binance registration page with referral code PH1IRZB4, then verify the code and all displayed terms before creating the account. Using a referral link is optional and does not guarantee account approval, regional eligibility, KYC approval or any particular reward.
How Binance Identity Verification Works
Identity verification is commonly required before full account functions become available. The exact steps, accepted documents and account limits depend on the country or region and the current verification flow.
- Select your real issuing country or region and document type.
- Enter your legal name, date of birth and residential details exactly as requested.
- Photograph the original, valid document with all edges visible and text readable.
- Complete a selfie or liveness check if prompted.
- Wait for the in-account result and respond only through official support channels if more information is requested.
Common causes of delay include glare, cropped images, an expired document, details that do not match the document, unsupported document types, repeated submissions or a network interruption during facial verification. Do not edit an ID image or submit another person's information.
Security Setup Before Your First Deposit
| Priority | Control | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Passkey or authenticator-based 2FA | Enable an offered phishing-resistant passkey or an authenticator app. Avoid relying on a password alone. |
| 2 | Secure email | Use a unique email password and enable 2FA on the mailbox as well. |
| 3 | Anti-phishing code | If available, set a recognizable code so genuine Binance emails are easier to distinguish from imitations. |
| 4 | Device and session review | Remove unfamiliar devices and sign out old sessions. |
| 5 | Withdrawal controls | Use address management or a withdrawal allowlist if it fits your workflow, and apply any available confirmation delay. |
Binance staff should never need your password, authenticator code, private key or wallet recovery phrase. Anyone asking you to move funds to a “safe account” or install remote-control software is not following a legitimate account-security process.
Make the First Deposit and Withdrawal a Small Test
After confirming eligibility, completing required verification and securing the account, choose only a funding route shown as supported in your account and lawful for your location. Review the provider, currency, minimum amount, processing time and total fees before confirming.
For a crypto deposit, match the asset, network, destination address and any required memo or tag. The same token can exist on several incompatible networks. Send a small test first, wait for it to be credited, and only then consider a larger transfer. Apply the same process to your first withdrawal.
Common Registration Problems
| Problem | Safe Response |
|---|---|
| Email or SMS code does not arrive | Check the address or country code, spam folder, signal and resend timer. Use only a contact method you control; see the verification-code troubleshooting guide. |
| Your country or region is unavailable | Stop the registration and check the official eligibility notice. Do not select a false residence or another person's details. |
| Referral code is missing or unexpected | Do not submit until you have checked the live field and campaign terms. A code may not be changeable after the account is linked. |
| KYC is rejected | Read the stated reason, confirm the document is accepted and current, and resubmit clear, truthful information. Contact official support if the result appears incorrect. |
| A stranger offers to verify the account for you | Decline. Giving someone access to your documents, email, phone or screen can lead to identity theft and account loss. |
How to Confirm You Are on the Real Binance Site
- Inspect the full domain, not just a logo, page title or search advertisement.
- Do not install apps or browser extensions from links in unsolicited messages.
- Open support from the signed-in website or official app instead of replying to a direct message.
- Bookmark the verified page after your first visit.
- Be suspicious of guaranteed returns, fixed “activation deposits” and urgent requests to transfer funds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I register without completing KYC?
You may be able to create login credentials before verification, but access to account functions can be restricted until the required identity checks are complete. Follow the current prompts for your region.
Can I use another person's phone number or identity document?
No. Use contact details you control and your own truthful identity information. Mismatched ownership can create verification, recovery, compliance and withdrawal problems.
Can I add or change a referral code later?
Do not rely on being able to change it later. Binance states in its registration guidance that a linked referral relationship may not be modifiable after registration. Verify the displayed field before submitting.
Does a referral code guarantee a fee discount or bonus?
No. Benefits and eligibility vary by region, campaign, product and account status. The current official page and account terms determine what applies.
How long does identity verification take?
There is no reliable universal time. Document quality, region, demand and whether additional review is needed can all affect the result. Trust the status shown in your account, not a promised approval time from a third party.
