What Do You Need to Register on Binance?

What You Need for Registration

Many newcomers worry about a complicated registration process, but signing up is actually very straightforward. Simply visit the Binance official site and have a valid email or phone number ready. If you prefer using your phone, you can download the APK to install the Binance App first.

For the registration step, you only need:

• An email address or phone number that hasn't been used to register on Binance before
• A strong password (uppercase and lowercase letters plus numbers; special characters recommended)
• A referral code (optional, but it saves you on trading fees)

What You Need for Identity Verification

After registration, if you want to deposit funds, trade, and make withdrawals, you'll need to complete identity verification (KYC). This requires a few more things:

ID document (choose one):

• National ID card (front and back photos)
• Passport (photo of the information page)
• Driver's license (front and back photos)

Using a passport is recommended, as it's an internationally recognized document with the highest approval rate and fastest processing time.

Selfie photo: During verification, the system will ask you to take a live selfie using your camera for facial comparison with your ID photo. Make sure the lighting is good and your face is unobstructed.

Proof of address (sometimes required): Most users only need basic verification, but if you want to increase your withdrawal limit, you may need to provide proof of address, such as a bank statement or utility bill.

Tips for Preparing Your Materials

ID photos must be clear and complete, with all four corners visible. Avoid glare or blur. Don't take photos of your ID displayed on a screen -- photograph the physical document directly for best results.

The information on your ID must exactly match the name you entered during registration, including any romanized spelling. If using a passport, make sure the pinyin matches what's on the passport.

What You Don't Need

Registering on Binance is completely free, and you don't need to provide any bank card information. You'll only need to link a payment method later if you choose to buy crypto with fiat currency. For registration and verification alone, the materials mentioned above are all you need.
