Can a Chinese ID Card Be Used for Binance Identity Verification?
Yes. A Chinese mainland resident ID card is one of the standard identity documents officially accepted by Binance, alongside passports and driver's licenses. As long as you have a valid second-generation or third-generation ID card, you can use it directly to complete basic identity verification (KYC) without needing any additional documents.

Prerequisites: Confirm Applicable Scenarios and Document Status
ID card verification is used for basic identity verification (standard KYC) of individual users. Only after completing this step can you access full features such as deposits, trading, and withdrawals.
Before submitting, make sure you meet all the following conditions:
The ID card is within its validity period (not expired)
The name on the document exactly matches the name you will enter on your Binance account
The document photo is clear and unobstructed (no glare, all four corners complete, text legible)
The phone camera works properly (for facial recognition)
Once nationality/name is submitted for verification, it cannot be changed. When filling in, be sure to check character by character against the ID card information.
Steps: Complete ID Card Verification Process
Step 1: Log in to your Binance account and go to the identity verification page
Log in to the Binance app or website. Click the 【User Center】 icon in the top right → select 【Identity Verification】 (or click "Verify Now" on the homepage).
Step 2: Select country/region of residence and fill in information
Select "China" as nationality, enter name, date of birth, residential address, etc. All information must be exactly the same as on the ID card (including name order and spelling).
Step 3: Select document type and upload ID card
Select document type as 【ID Card】
Take photos of the front (portrait side) and back (national emblem side) of the ID card, and upload them separately
When taking photos, ensure: all four corners are complete, no glare, all text and numbers are clearly visible
After uploading, if the preview image clearly shows the name, ID number, and expiration date, it meets the requirements
Prefer using phone photos rather than scanned copies. Choose a white background, turn off the flash, and avoid glare that could blur the information.
Step 4: Complete facial recognition (liveness detection)
Place your face centered in the frame and follow the on-screen instructions to complete actions (such as blinking, shaking head, opening mouth, etc.). Specific requirements:
Remove hats and glasses (decorative non-prescription glasses must be taken off)
Ensure ample lighting, no shadows covering the face
Do not use beauty filters
Step 5: Submit and wait for review
After completing the above process, the system will show "Under Review". Review is usually completed within 2 hours, and at most within 24 hours. Once approved, you'll receive an email and an in-app notification.
Common Failure Reasons and Risk Reminders
Blurry photo or glare: Over 60% of verification failures are due to unclear document photos. Before submitting, be sure to check the preview image and confirm the text is readable.
ID card has expired: Check the expiration date on the back of your ID card before submitting. If it has expired, you need to renew it before proceeding.
Facial recognition environment not up to standard: Attempting liveness detection in dim or backlit conditions may result in being judged as "not a real person" or "detection failed".
Risk Reminders:
Accounts that have not completed identity verification will be limited to "withdrawals only" and cannot trade or deposit.
If you fail verification 10 times in a single day, you must wait 24 hours before trying again. Do not repeatedly submit blurry photos.
Binance will never ask you to transfer funds or provide your password under the pretext of "verification failure". Any such contact is a scam.

FAQ
1. Can I use a passport instead of an ID card? Yes. A passport is also an officially accepted document type on Binance, especially suitable for overseas users who do not have an ID card. However, if you are a mainland resident, the ID card is the most convenient option and requires no additional translation.
2. After passing ID card verification, will I need to provide additional materials later? Basic verification (standard KYC) only requires an ID card + facial recognition. However, if you need to increase your withdrawal limit (to reach Verified Plus level), the platform may require additional proof of address (such as utility bills or bank statements from the past 3 months).
After submission, the page will show "Under Review". Please check your registered email and in-app notifications — once the review is approved, all trading functions of the account will be automatically unlocked. If you haven't received a notification after 24 hours, you can inquire about the progress through Binance's official customer service channels, attaching a screenshot of your submission time.
