For individual users registering on Binance, the core preparations include three items: a long-term usable contact method, a valid set of identification documents within their validity period, and a phone capable of taking photos and scanning faces. If you only need to check market prices, the first two are sufficient; however, for actual trading, deposits, and withdrawals, all three are indispensable.

Below, we break down the requirements into two scenarios based on your functional needs. Choose the one that applies to you.

Scenario 1: Only Want to View Market Prices, No Trading

Materials needed:

  • An email address or a mobile phone number (choose one)

Outcome: After registration, you can only browse price and market pages. The trading, deposit, and withdrawal options will be grayed out and require identity verification to unlock.

Scenario 2: Need to Trade, Deposit, or Withdraw (the Real Need for Most Users)

In this case, you must complete identity verification (KYC). It is recommended to prepare the following four items in advance:

ItemSpecific Requirements
Contact method for registrationEmail (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) or mobile number (+86 numbers are accepted)
Valid identification documentID card, passport, or driver's license accepted. The document must be within its validity period, clear, and without reflections.
Photography deviceA phone or computer with a camera for taking photos of the document and completing facial recognition.
Proof of address (depending on limits)If your daily fiat deposit/withdrawal limit exceeds $50,000, you need to prepare a recent utility bill or credit card statement.

Steps to Follow

Once you have the above preparations, the actual registration process consists of three steps:

Step 1: Complete Initial Registration

  1. Go to the Binance official website or open the App, and click "Register".

  2. Choose to register with an email or mobile number. If using a mobile number, remember to select the +86 country code for Chinese mainland numbers.

  3. Enter the verification code you receive, then set a password. The password must be at least 8 characters long and include both uppercase letters and numbers.

Step 2: Complete Identity Verification (KYC) — This is the key to unlocking features

  1. After logging in, find the "Identity Verification" entry in your account.

  2. Select China as your region.

  3. Follow the prompts to fill in personal information, upload the front and back of your ID document, and complete facial recognition.

Step 3: Enhance Security Settings — Recommended to do before depositing funds

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): It is recommended to use Google Authenticator or the Binance authenticator, which is more secure than SMS verification alone.

  • Set an Anti-Phishing Code: In the security settings, set a unique code to help you identify genuine emails and avoid phishing scams.

Common Failure Reasons and Checks

  • Not receiving verification code: Check your email spam folder; if you don't receive an SMS, it may be due to phone call blocking or the current IP location (e.g., the US or Singapore) being restricted for registration. Try switching network environments.

  • ID verification failure: Ensure the document is within its validity period, the photo is unobstructed and without reflections, and all four corners are visible. Your name and ID number must match the document exactly.

  • Facial recognition failure: Ensure adequate lighting, no facial obstructions, and that the device camera functions properly.

Result check: Log into your account and see if the "Identity Verification" page shows "Verified". Only when this status is displayed can you proceed with trading, deposits, and withdrawals.
