Can a Driver's License Be Used for Binance Identity Verification?
Yes, a driver's license is one of the accepted document types for Binance KYC identity verification. Binance's standard identity verification supports three types of documents: national ID, passport, and driver's license. Users can choose any of them according to their situation.

Step 1: Confirm that your driver's license meets the basic requirements
What to do: Before starting the verification, check the basic conditions of your driver's license.
How to do it, item by item:
-
Document status: Must be a driver's license within the validity period. Expired documents will not pass verification.
-
Document integrity: The driver's license must be free of damage, alterations, or obstructions of information.
-
Photo requirements: The submitted photo must be taken of the original document (screenshots, re-photographed copies, or scans are not accepted). All four corners must be visible, no glare, and all text must be clear and legible.
What counts as completion: Confirm that your driver's license meets all the above conditions.
Binance suggests that using a national ID card usually results in faster approval. If you have an ID card available, consider using it to complete KYC first.
Step 2: Select "Driver's License" on the identity verification page
What to do: Log in to your Binance account, go to the identity verification process, and select driver's license as the document type.
How to do it:
-
Log in to the Binance App or website, go to [User Center] — [Identity Verification].
-
Click [Start Verification] or [Verify Now].
-
In the "Select document type" step, choose Driver's License.
What counts as completion: The page proceeds to the next step, prompting you to upload the front and back photos of your driver's license.
Step 3: Take and upload photos of your driver's license as required
What to do: Use your mobile phone to take photos of the front and back of your driver's license, and upload them to the verification page.
How to do it:
-
When taking a photo, ensure the entire document appears in the frame, capturing all four corners.
-
Shoot in a well-lit environment to avoid glare or shadows covering text.
-
After uploading, confirm that the system-recognized name and document number match those on the original license.
What counts as completion: Both front and back photos of the driver's license are successfully uploaded, entering the facial recognition step.
Common Reasons for Failure
-
Driver's license about to expire: Some regions have restrictions; if the remaining validity period is too short, it may affect verification.
-
Unacceptable photo: The document is not fully in frame, there is glare or blurriness, or a copy/scan was used instead of the original photo.
-
Information mismatch: The name spelling or document number entered does not match the information on the driver's license.

Risk Reminders
-
Regional differences: Driver's licenses from different countries/regions may be handled differently in Binance's verification process. Binance's official documentation indicates that driver's licenses from certain states/regions may not be eligible for new user verification.
-
Document validity: Binance explicitly does not accept expired documents. Ensure your driver's license is still valid before submitting.
Next step: Log in to your Binance account, go to the [Identity Verification] page, select "Driver's License" as the document type, and upload photos as instructed. After submission, monitor the review result; verification usually completes within a few hours. If rejected, adjust the photos or check the information based on the rejection reason and resubmit.
