What Materials Do You Need to Register on Binance?

What Should You Have Ready Before Registering?

Some people eagerly open Binance to register, only to reach the identity verification step and realize their documents aren't at hand. To help you get everything done in one sitting, let's lay out what you need.

Before starting, register through Binance official site for fee rebates. Android users can click here to download the APK for direct installation.

What's Needed for Registration?

Registration itself is very simple — you only need one of the following:

• A commonly used email address (Gmail, Outlook, or other international email recommended)
• Or a phone number that can receive SMS

Just one of the two. Enter your email or phone number, set a password, input the verification code, and your account is created. No documents needed at this stage.

What's Needed for Identity Verification?

After registration, the system will guide you through KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification. This step requires more specific materials:

ID Document (Choose One)

1. National ID card: The most common choice — photos of both front and back are required. Make sure it's within its validity period and the photos are clear without glare.
2. Passport: Upload a photo of the information page. Good for users without a national ID or those overseas.
3. Driver's license: Accepted for verification in some countries and regions.

Selfie or Facial Recognition

After uploading your document, you'll typically need to complete facial recognition. The system will activate your phone's camera and ask you to face it directly, following prompts to turn your head. Keep in mind:

• Find a well-lit area — avoid backlighting
• Remove hats, sunglasses, or other obstructions
• Keep a natural facial expression

Proof of Address (May Be Required for Advanced Verification)

If you want to increase your deposit/withdrawal limits, Binance may ask for address verification documents such as:

• Bank statements
• Utility bills
• Government-issued proof of residence

These typically need to be issued within the last three months and must display your name and address. However, for most regular users, basic verification is sufficient — address proof isn't necessary.

Important Details to Watch

Name consistency: The name you enter during registration must exactly match the name on your document, including spelling in any language.

Photo quality matters: Many verification rejections are due to blurry photos, glare, or cropped edges. Take photos in good lighting, place the document flat on a surface, and shoot from directly above with your phone.

Stable internet: If your connection drops during facial recognition, you may need to start over. Use WiFi for best results.

Confirm your nationality/region beforehand: Binance has different requirements and restrictions for different countries and regions. Before registering, make sure your region is supported.

Materials Checklist

Here's a quick reference:

Have these ready and the entire registration plus verification process takes about 10–15 minutes — no need to go back and forth.
