How Australian Users Should Fill in Country/Region and International Area Code When Registering on Binance
When Australian users register onBinance,select "Australia" as the country/region and +61 as the phone area code. This choice is straightforward, but a key distinction to note is thatthe area code selected during registration is for receiving SMS verification codes, which is separate from the country/region of your identity document for subsequent KYC verification.

1. How to Fill in During Registration
On the Binance registration page, whether using a phone number or email, the logic for selecting country/region is as follows:
Area code dropdown menu: Search for "Australia" or scroll to find+61. This is Australia's international phone area code, used to receive SMS verification codes.
Enter phone number: When entering an Australian mobile number,omit the leading 0. For example, if the number is 0412 345 678, input 412345678 in the field.
The above steps are based on the Binance registration page and community user feedback; always follow the on-page prompts during actual operation.
2. Key Considerations for Post-Registration Verification (KYC)
Selecting +61 during registration does not mean you must submit an Australian document for verification.
During identity verification, you need to select thecountry/region of your identity document. If you hold a Chinese passport or ID card, choose "China" during verification and submit the corresponding Chinese document. If you hold an Australian passport or driver's license, you can also choose "Australia" and submit an Australian document.
Binance supports Australian SMS verification, and Australian users face no restrictions on registration and use. However, the "country/region of residence" selected during verification must match the document submitted—if the document is a Chinese ID card but you select "Australia," the system will deem the information inconsistent, leading to verification failure.
Recommendation: Use a +61 phone number for receiving verification codes during registration, and choose the country/region corresponding to your valid identity document during verification.
3. Special Background for Australian Users
Binance has a local entity in Australia:InvestbyBit Pty Ltd(trading as "BinanceAustralia"), registered with AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre). Currently, Binance Australia only offers spot exchange of fiat currency and digital currencies, as well as Binance wealth management services; derivatives and some other features may be restricted or unavailable.

4. Verification of Results
After registration and completing verification, you can confirm your account status using the following methods:
Phone verification: Ensure that the SMS verification code received during registration comes from the +61 channel and can be received normally.
Verification status: Check in "Personal Center" whether "Identity Verification" shows "Verified." After successful verification, trading, deposit, and withdrawal functions will be unlocked.
Regional availability: If the account shows restrictions or certain features are unavailable, it may be related to the document type you selected or the service scope of Binance Australia. It is recommended to directly review Binance Australia's Terms of Service for confirmation.
