The referral code must be entered in the "Referral ID (optional)" field on the registration page. You need to confirm the correct code is in the box before clicking "Create Account" to submit. If you enter the wrong code or leave it blank, you cannot change it after submission.

Step 1: Find the Referral Code Field

Open the Binance registration page, enter your email or phone number, set a password, and scroll down. Below the password field and above the submit button, you will see the "Referral ID (optional)" input box. On the app, this field is collapsed by default; tap it to expand it. Many beginners miss it and skip it by accident.

Done when: You have found the "Referral ID" field and your cursor is ready in the box.

Important: If you opened the registration page through someone's invitation link, the referral code is usually filled in automatically. However, do not fully trust the auto-filled result. Always check the box manually to make sure there is valid content. This helps you avoid empty referral codes caused by missing link parameters or hijacked links. Manual checking is safer.

Step 2: Enter the Correct Referral Code

Type or paste your prepared referral code. Do not include extra spaces. Common valid referral codes look like BTC9149 or B3668XWU.

Done when: The input box shows the complete and correct code with no extra characters.

Step 3: Confirm and Submit Registration

Before clicking "Create Account", check the Referral ID box one last time and make sure it is not empty. Then complete the verification code check, click "Create Account", and wait for the confirmation that your account was created successfully.

Common Reasons for Failure

  • Remembering the code only after registration: Many people notice they forgot the referral code after submitting. At that point, it cannot be added. This is a platform rule, not a simple operating mistake.

  • Using the wrong link and trying to register again: Some users want to create a new account to add the referral code. This may violate Binance account rules. One identity usually can only verify one account. Forcing another registration may cause the account to be restricted or flagged.

  • Assuming the code can be added after KYC: KYC verification and referral code binding are two separate processes. Passing KYC does not mean the referral code is bound. The referral code can only be bound during registration.

Next Steps

After submitting your registration, check your registered email for a confirmation email from Binance. If you receive a successful registration notice, the process is complete. If you are unsure about your referral code binding status, contact Binance customer service to check your account.
