I. What to Prepare Before Registration
If you have only moved within the same country, the preparation materials are relatively simple; if you have moved across countries, you will need to prepare more.
Core Materials:
Valid ID Document: Passport or national ID card, valid at the time of use. During KYC, upload photos of the front and back of the document. If you have moved to a new country, fill in your nationality as on the passport and your place of residence as the new country.
Proof of Address: If you need to upgrade your account limits or conduct fiat transactions after registration, Binance will require you to submit proof of address. The information on the proof of address must exactly match the residential address you filled in during KYC.
Network Environment: If accessing the Binance official website from Mainland China, you will need to prepare a VPN tool, with recommended nodes in regions such as Taiwan or Japan.
Requirements for Proof of Address:
Issued within thelast 3 months
Includes your full name and complete residential address
P.O. Box addresses are not accepted
Acceptable Document Types:
Utility bills (electricity, water, gas, internet)
Bank statements (issued by traditional banks, not online-only banks)
Government agency letters
Property tax statements or mortgage bills
Unacceptable Documents:
Mobile phone bills
Credit card statements
Statements from online-only banks (e.g., Chime, TransferWise)
W-2 tax forms or IRS documents
II. Registration and KYC Process
Step 1: Register an Account
Open the Binance official website at www.binance.com, and click [Register]. Using an email for registration is more stable than using a phone number; Gmail or Outlook is recommended.
Step 2: Fill in KYC Information
After logging in, go to the [Identity Verification] page
Country/Region of Residence: Select the country of yourcurrent actual new address, not your nationality country
Nationality: Fill in your nationality truthfully as on your passport (the two can be different)
Detailed Address: Enter the specific street, city, and postal code of your new address
Document Type: It is recommended to use a passport for the best compatibility
Upload photos of the document and complete facial recognition as prompted
Important Reminder: Once submitted, the place of residence and nationality cannot be modified by yourself. If filled incorrectly, you need to contact customer support.
Step 3: Submit Proof of Address (If Required)
If the system requires proof of address, find the [Edit Address] or upload entry point on the [Identity Verification] page, and upload a file that meets the above requirements. Review typically takes1-2 business days.

III. Special Considerations After Moving
1. Cross-Border Moves May Affect Available Products
Different countries have different regulations, and the products and services Binance offers may vary by region. If you move from one country to another, some products you previously used (e.g., futures trading) may not be available in the new place of residence, and you may gain access to new products. The specifics depend on what is actually displayed in your account.
2. If You Already Have a Binance Account, You Need to Update Your Address
If you already had a Binance account before moving and need to update your information after the move, the operation path is: [Profile] → [Account] → [Identity Verification] → Scroll down and click [Edit Address]. You will also need to submit a new proof of address document.
3. Temporary Addresses Are Not Accepted
Temporary addresses such as hotels or short-term leases cannot be used for KYC; Binance only acceptspermanent residential addresses.
Can I change the place of residence if I selected it incorrectly during registration?
After KYC submission, the place of residence and nationality information cannot be modified by yourself. If indeed filled incorrectly, you can only contact customer support via the [Help Center] to request a modification, which is a relatively cumbersome process. It is recommended to fill it correctly during registration.
I have just moved and haven't received a new utility bill yet. What can I use as proof of address?
A bank statement is an alternative. You can open an account at your new place of residence and obtain a paper bank statement (note: it must be from a traditional bank, not an online-only bank), which can typically be received within 1-2 weeks. If you don't have one yet, you can complete the basic KYC (ID document only) first, and submit the proof of address later to upgrade your limits once you have the statement.
