What to Do If You Use English Spelling for Your Binance Address?
Binance fully allows you to fill in your address with English spelling, as long as you maintain full consistency: whatever content you enter during registration must exactly match the address shown on your address proof document. You can use Chinese to fill in your address for basic authentication, while the address for advanced authentication must be 100% identical to the spelling on your supporting documents.

Prerequisites
Before you start the operation, confirm two key points:
Clarify which stage's address you are filling in — Basic authentication and advanced authentication have different address requirements. The former is only for information registration, while the latter needs to be fully consistent with your supporting proof documents.
Confirm whether the address on your address proof document is written in English or Chinese — The address format on documents such as utility bills and bank statements determines what content you should enter on Binance.
1. Basic Authentication Stage: Both Chinese and English Are Acceptable
What you need to know: When filling in personal information during the basic identity authentication step, the address field supports Chinese input, you do not need to deliberately translate your address into English.
How to do it:
The content you fill in for basic authentication is only used for personal information record keeping, and the system will not cross-check it against your address proof documents. You can directly enter your current residential address in Chinese, which is convenient, accurate, and less prone to errors.
Completion criteria: The address you enter on the basic authentication page only needs to match your actual living situation, and there is no requirement to match the address proof you submit later.
Common failure cause: Trying to translate your address into English during the basic authentication stage often leads to translation errors or inaccurate spelling, which will cause inconsistency issues when you submit your address proof later.
2. Advanced Authentication (Address Proof) Stage: Must Be Fully Consistent With Your Supporting Documents
What you need to know: When submitting your address proof, the address you fill in must be verbatim identical to the address on the uploaded bill or statement.
How to do it:
Core rule: Copy it exactly as it appears on your bill.
If the address on your utility bill or bank statement is written in English, enter the exact English spelling directly, do not modify capitalization, lowercase, or abbreviations.
If the address on your bill is in Chinese, enter it in Chinese, the Binance system fully accepts Chinese input.
Completion criteria: The address you fill in for advanced authentication must be completely identical to the text on the uploaded address proof document — check every character carefully, including house number, floor number, capitalization, and space positions.
Risk warning: Address translation is the top cause of address verification rejection. If your bill is in Chinese but you translate it to English for submission, the Binance system will detect the inconsistency and reject your verification directly. Binance's official address verification policy requires that "the name and address on your address proof document must match the information you submitted during your Binance account registration process".
3. Checkpoints for English Spelling Addresses
What you need to know: If you choose to fill in your address using English spelling during registration, make sure the format is fully accurate.
How to do it:
The standard format for English addresses is usually: House number + Street name + District/Town + City + Postal code + Country/Region
Example: 123 Main Street, Apt 4B, Brooklyn, NY 11201, United States
Pay attention to these points during verification:
Abbreviations: "St." and "Street" are not treated as the same, enter it exactly as it is written on your bill
Capitalization: We recommend keeping the exact same capitalization as your bill, even if the system is not strictly case-sensitive, copying directly is the safest practice
Spaces and punctuation: Keep all spaces and commas that appear on your bill when you enter the address
Completion criteria: Every single character in the advanced authentication address field must fully match the address on your proof document.
Risk warning: Binance does not accept P.O. Box addresses as valid residential address proof, your submitted address must be your actual physical residential address.

Quick Reference Table for Address Entry Strategies
| Authentication Stage | Address Requirement | Entry Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Authentication | Only for information registration, no cross-check against proof documents | You can directly fill in the address in Chinese |
| Advanced Authentication (Address Proof) | Must be 100% identical to uploaded supporting documents | Copy the address exactly as it appears on your bill |
| English Spelled Address | Copy the exact spelling from your bill | Pay extra attention to abbreviations, capitalization, spaces and punctuation |
Fill in your address in Chinese directly for basic authentication, it is simpler and more accurate. When you need to submit address proof for advanced authentication, take your bill and copy the address exactly: fill in English if your bill is in English, fill in Chinese if your bill is in Chinese, never "translate" it on your own. You will get the verification result within 1-2 working days after submission. If your application is rejected, first check if your entered address is fully consistent with the one on your supporting document.
