What to Prepare When Binance Requires You to Resubmit Occupational Information?
First, confirm whether the system is asking for just "occupational information" or together with "Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW)" proof. If it is the latter, you need to provide not only occupational details but also corresponding supporting documents when resubmitting. Below are the materials you need to prepare based on different situations.

Prerequisite: Check the specific requirements in the system notification
Log into your Binance account and go to the [Identity Verification] page or check your in-app message center. Binance's Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) process typically requires two things: declaring whether you are a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), and declaring your source of funds and source of wealth.
If only occupational information is requested: No additional documents are needed; simply select the correct category truthfully.
If SOF/SOW proof is requested: You need to prepare corresponding materials based on your income type.
When is this step considered complete? Confirm whether the notification contains the phrases "Source of Funds (SOF)" or "Source of Wealth (SOW)".
Step 1: Fill in Occupational Information Truthfully
Select your occupation category on the supplementary information page. Binance KYC requires that occupational information matches your actual situation.
Key Principles:
Freelancer: Do not select "Unemployed"; choose the closest industry category and note "Freelancer" in the remarks.
Student: Directly select "Student", even if you do not have a fixed income.
Unemployed or Living off Savings: Explain truthfully; Binance accepts savings as a source of funds.
When is this step considered complete? The occupation category has been selected and the information saved.
Step 2: Prepare Supporting Documents Based on Your Income Type
If the system requires SOF/SOW proof, you need to prepare the following corresponding materials:
| Your Situation | Documents to Prepare |
|---|---|
| Employed (Salaried) | Last 3 months' salary slips; or bank statements showing salary deposits; or tax report for the last tax year |
| Self-Employed / Freelance | Tax report; or bank statements from the last 3 months showing income + business registration document |
| Savings / Deposits | Savings account statement issued within the last 3 months, showing your name and balance |
| Student | Bank statements showing allowance or living expense transfers |
| Cryptocurrency Trading | Exchange statement (last month) + bank statement showing withdrawn profits |
| Cryptocurrency Mining | Proof of mining equipment purchase; all mining income records (at least 3 months' records, showing wallet addresses and transaction IDs) |
| Investment / Asset Sale | Investment institution statements; sale contract or settlement statement |
| Inheritance | Copy of the will; or a letter signed by the executor |
| Donation | Donation agreement; or a statement letter signed by the donor |
When is this step considered complete? According to your income type, the corresponding proof documents are ready (in PDF or JPG format).
Step 3: Ensure Documents Meet Format Requirements
Binance has uniform requirements for all supporting documents. Non-compliance will lead to direct rejection:
Real-name issuance: The name on the document must match the name on your Binance account.
Recently issued: Must be a document issued within the last 3 months.
Clear and legible: Recommended 300 DPI, all four corners complete, do not crop or cover.
Unedited: PDF, JPG, PNG formats; Excel or Word are not accepted.
Screenshots: Must show the full page, including the URL link, name, and date.
When is this step considered complete? The file has been checked against the above standards and confirmed compliant.
Step 4: Submit Documents and Confirm
Upload the prepared documents on the supplementary information page.
If a video call verification with customer service is required: Hold your KYC document and read the designated statement in your native language or English.
If you don't speak English, you can show a note with the English statement written on it and read it in your native language.
When is this step considered complete? The page shows "Under Review" after submission.
Common Reasons for Failure
Mismatch between occupation and proof documents: Selected "Employed" but only submitted a savings statement without pay slips.
Expired documents: Binance requires supporting documents usually issued within the last 3 months.
Cropped or covered documents: Incomplete four corners or covered key information will lead to direct rejection.

Risk Warning
Non-cooperation with EDD may lead to account function restrictions: If supplementary verification is not completed in time, deposits, trades, and withdrawals may be restricted.
Severe consequences for submitting false information: Binance has strict compliance requirements for KYC information authenticity; false declarations may lead to permanent account closure.
Binance will not ask you to transfer funds out under this pretext: The EDD process is entirely completed within the platform; any private contact requesting fund transfers is a scam.
After submission, EDD review usually takes 1-3 business days. Watch for notifications from your registered email and in-app message center. If you do not receive a reply within 3 business days, you can contact customer support through the Binance Help Center to check the progress.
