How Hong Kong Users Should Fill in Country/Region and International Dialing Code When Registering on Binance
When registering, Hong Kong users should select "Hong Kong SAR" as the "Country/Region," and the "International Dialing Code" will automatically correspond to +852. These two items must exactly match the information on your identity document and the location of your phone number; otherwise, subsequent identity verification (KYC) and SMS code reception may be affected. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how to fill in these details during registration.

Specific Fields on the Registration Page
On theBinanceregistration page (App or web version), these two fields are typically located near the phone number input box:
Region/Country Selection (Dropdown Menu): This is the first critical option. Scroll down the list and select"Hong Kong SAR". Once correctly selected, the international dialing code before the phone number input box will automatically change to+852. This code is usually not manually editable and is entirely determined by the "Region" selection.
Phone Number Input: After confirming the dialing code is +852, enter your8-digitHong Kong local phone number in the input box (do not add a leading 0 or the area code 852 before the number).
Region Verification During KYC
In addition to the phone dialing code during registration, the subsequent identity verification (KYC) process also requires region verification:
Region Reconfirmation: When submitting identity documents (e.g., Hong Kong ID card or passport), the system may ask you to select "Country/Region of Residence" again. Here, you must also choose"Hong Kong SAR".
Consistency Requirement: The region selected during registration (which determines the phone dialing code) and the region of the document submitted during KYC must belong to the same jurisdiction. If you mistakenly select another region (e.g., Mainland China or the United States) during registration, even if you can receive SMS codes, submitting Hong Kong documents will result in verification failure due to region mismatch.
Common Reasons for Filling Errors
If you encounter error prompts or cannot proceed, it is usually due to the following reasons:
Selecting a Non-Corresponding Region: Choosing "China" (+86) or another region but entering a Hong Kong phone number will cause the system to deem the format invalid.
Number Range Blocking: Some virtual operator number ranges in Hong Kong may not receive verification codes from international platforms. It is recommended to use numbers from mainstream telecom operators.
Network Environment Interference: Frequent IP address changes or network restrictions in your area may cause incomplete page loading or submission timeouts.

How to Verify After Submission
After completing registration, it is advisable to immediately confirm the information is correct:
Log out and log back in: Check the "Region" displayed on your profile page to ensure it is "Hong Kong SAR."
Check the phone number display: Confirm that the bound phone number's dialing code is +852 and that there are no extra spaces or symbols in the number.
If KYC review fails, it is usually due to information inconsistency or unclear document photos. It is recommended to recheck the specific requirements for the current region before resubmitting.
