Common registration locations like Australia, Brazil, and Dubai all require documents issued within 3 months, which is the standard submission window for users in the vast majority of regions.
How to Calculate the Document Date
To confirm whether the issue date of your proof of address falls within the required period, follow these steps:
Check the issue date or billing period start date printed on the document
Count from that date to the date you submit your verification; the total time must not exceed the number of months required by the system
Example: if a document was issued on May 1, 2026 and a 3-month validity requirement applies, you can submit it no later than July 31, 2026
Simply ensure the document date is within the validity window – no extra calculation is needed.
Accepted Types of Address Proof Documents
Binance accepts the following proof of address documents:
Utility bills (electricity, water, gas)
Bank statements
Landline or broadband bills
Official correspondence issued by a government agency
The document must contain the following information: your full name, complete residential address, date of issuance, and the name of the issuing institution. The name must match the account holder name registered on Binance.
Consequences of Non-Compliant Documents
Common reasons for rejection include:
Document exceeds the validity period (most common)
Name on the document does not match the registered account name
Address is incomplete or is a P.O. Box
Document is a screenshot, a printout of a web page, or an unstamped electronic version
Risk reminders:
Submitting an expired or incomplete proof of address will result in rejection, and you will need to resubmit. Repeatedly submitting non-qualifying documents may extend the review cycle.
Proof of address verification usually takes 1 – 2 business days. Once submitted, please wait patiently; there is no need to contact customer support repeatedly.

Confirming Your Address Proof is Valid
After submitting your proof of address, go to Binance's [Identity Verification] page and check that the document status shows "Uploaded" or "Under Review". Once approved, the status will update to "Verified". If your submission is rejected, return to the same page to review the specific reason, then replace it with a valid, in-date document and resubmit.
