The global Binance.com platform is not available to users residing in the United States. If you are a US resident, you must register on Binance.US, which is a separate entity designed to comply with US regulations.
Registering on Binance is a straightforward process, but due to global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, completing Identity Verification (KYC) is mandatory for all users before depositing funds or trading. In this guide, we will walk you through the entire process.
Step 1: Create an Account and Review Fee Information
One useful step before trading is to review the fee information shown during registration. By using a partner referral link, eligible new users may see a 20% discount on trading fees.
- Click on our Binance referral link if you want any referral benefits to be applied automatically.
- Choose to register with your Email or Phone Number.
- Create a strong password (minimum 8 characters, including uppercase letters and numbers).
- Verify your email or phone number by entering the 6-digit code sent by Binance.
Step 2: Prepare for Identity Verification (KYC)
To unlock fiat deposits, crypto withdrawals, and trading features, you need to verify your identity. Gather the following before you start:
- Government-Issued ID: A valid passport, national ID card, or driver's license from your country of residence.
- Smartphone: While you can start the process on a desktop, completing the facial recognition scan is much easier and more reliable using the Binance mobile app.
Step 3: Complete the Verification Process
We highly recommend downloading the Binance app for this step, as smartphone cameras are generally better at capturing clear document photos and facial scans.
- Log into the Binance app and tap "Verify Account" on the home screen.
- Select your country of residence.
- Enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your ID document.
- Take a clear photo of the front and back of your ID. Ensure there is no glare and all text is readable.
- Complete the Liveness Check (Facial Recognition). Position your face within the frame and follow the on-screen prompts (e.g., blink, nod).
Make sure you are in a well-lit room, preferably facing a window with natural light. Remove glasses, hats, or anything that might obscure your face. If the system rejects your scan, you can try again after 24 hours.
Step 4: Enable 2FA Security
Once your documents are submitted, verification usually takes a few minutes to a few hours. While you wait, secure your account immediately.
- Go to your account "Security" settings.
- Select "Authenticator App" (we recommend Google Authenticator or Authy) or "Passkeys" if your device supports it.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Congratulations! Your Binance account is now fully verified, secure, and ready for your first deposit.
