What Format Should You Use for Binance KYC Residential Address?
There is no complicated format template for address entry. The core principle is simple: copy the address exactly as it appears on the proof of address document you plan to upload. Do not invent your own format or abbreviate. The system validates whether the "entered address" matches the "document address". The address field is optional during basic verification, but for advanced verification you must use this address to match your supporting document.
Prerequisites
Before you start, be clear about one thing: which document are you going to use as proof of address? Obtain that document first (usually a utility bill, bank statement, or government letter issued within the last 3 months), then fill in the form according to it.
Step 1: Log in and find the address entry
What to do: Log into your Binance account and navigate to the page where you need to enter your address in the identity verification process.
How to do it:
App: Tap [User Center] — [Identity Verification], then enter the "Basic Verification" or "Advanced Verification" flow.
Web: After logging in, click the profile icon in the top right — [Account] — [Identity Verification], then click "Start Verification" or "Upgrade Verification".
After entering your nationality and name, the system will ask you to input your "Residential Address".
When is it done?: When the page displays an address entry form (home address, city, country, etc.).
Step 2: Fill in the address exactly as shown on your proof document
What to do: Have your proof of address document at hand and copy every detail into the form.
How to do it:
Name: The name you fill in must match exactly the name on your submitted ID document (and the proof of address document).
Detailed Address: Copy the full address from the document — door number, street, community, district/county, city. Do not abbreviate or add/remove anything.
Postal Code: Enter the postal code for that area.
Country/Region: Select the country where you currently reside.
Different scenarios:
Scenario A: Basic verification
In this phase, uploading a proof of address is usually not required, but the address information still needs to be filled out. It is recommended to use the address on your ID document for consistency.
Scenario B: Advanced verification (proof of address required)
You must follow the proof of address document exactly. If your ID card address differs from your billing address, use the billing address, because the uploaded proof document will be used to verify the address match.
For example, if your bank statement says "Room 301, Building 5, 123 Zhongshan Road", you must enter it exactly that way in the form. Do not change it to "123 Zhongshan Rd, Bldg 5, Rm 301" or shorten it to "123 Zhongshan Road".
When is it done?: Every field in the form (name, street, city, postal code) is identical to the information on your proof document.
P.O. Box addresses are not accepted. Binance requires a physical residential address. Postal boxes cannot pass KYC review because they do not prove physical residence.
Step 3: Confirm the address matches your document and submit
What to do: Do a final check before submitting, then upload your proof document and send.
How to do it:
Checklist: name matches, address matches character by character, and the issue date is within the last 3 months.
Click [Continue] or [Submit] to proceed to the document upload step.
Upload your file (PDF, JPG, PNG). Ensure the document's four corners are fully visible, clear, and free of glare.
When is it done?: When your verification application is successfully submitted and the page shows "Under Review".
Common reasons for rejection
The most common reason for address rejection is a mismatch between the entered address and the address on the proof document. For example, if the document says "Building 5" and you typed "Block 5", the system will treat them as different addresses.
FAQ
Q1: I filled in my ID card address for basic verification. Can I switch to a different address for advanced verification?
Yes. The address filled in during basic verification can be changed. When you upgrade to advanced verification, simply enter the new address according to your new proof of address document. The two stages do not need to be consistent, but the document you upload must match the address you currently enter.
Q2: What if the name on my proof of address document does not match the name on my ID?
The name on the proof document must match the name on the identity document you uploaded. If they are different, you need to obtain a new proof of address under your own name using other valid documents (for example, a bank statement in your own name).
Once you have your proof of address document, carefully copy the address information into the form character by character. After submitting, check your email and Binance message center. Address proof verification usually takes 1-2 business days. If you haven't received a notification by then, contact customer support.
