Binance's identity verification system supports updating your documents before they expire, to keep your account information valid.
Step 1: Confirm Whether Your Document Type Supports Early Renewal
What to Do: Understand Binance's specific requirements for ID document validity.
How to Do It:
According to Binance's official policy, the document's validity period is one of the key indicators for verifying identity materials.
Most identity documents (such as state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards in the US) are accepted as long as they are "within validity" and "have at least 6 months until expiration." This means that if your document has more than 6 months left it's in good standing; if it's nearing expiration (less than 6 months), you can renew early.
For Binance users in Thailand (Binance TH), when updating, you can directly select the reason "My ID document has expired or will expire soon".
When You're Done: You have confirmed that your document type is within Binance's supported range and that you can apply for an early update before it expires.
Step 2: Access the Identity Verification Update Page
What to Do: Log in to your Binance account and find the entry point for updating identity information.
How to Do It:
Log in to your Binance account.
Web: Hover over the profile icon in the top right corner → [Account] → [Identification]. Or go directly to the identity verification update page.
App: Tap the profile icon in the top left corner → [Identity Verification].
On the identity verification page, find and click the [Update Identity Verification] button or a similar option.
When You're Done: You have entered the process page for updating identity information.
Step 3: Select the Update Reason and Submit Your New Document
What to Do: Choose "Document expired or about to expire" as the update reason, and upload your new ID document.
How to Do It:
In the drop-down menu on the update page, select the reason for the update, such as:
"The documents have expired"
or "My ID document has expired or will expire soon"
Carefully read and check the consent statement, then click [Confirm Update].
Follow the on-screen instructions to upload clear photos of your new document (front and back, if required) and complete the facial verification.
Submit and wait for review.
When You're Done: The new document has been successfully submitted, and the system shows it is under review.
Account Restrictions During the Update
What to Do: Understand how your account will be affected during the KYC update, so you can plan ahead.
How to Do It:
According to Binance's official instructions, after submitting a KYC update application, your account will be restricted to "Withdrawal Only" mode until the new information is verified.
During this period, deposits, spot trading, quick buy/sell, and other functions will be temporarily unavailable, but you can still withdraw assets.
When You're Done: You are aware of the function restrictions during the update and have planned your fund usage accordingly.
Common Reasons for Rejection
New document information does not match the old information: Changes to key details such as your name or ID number may lead to rejection. If your information has changed, Binance supports updates (e.g., name change, ID number change), but additional explanation is required.
Unclear photo or incomplete edges: Make sure the photo is well-lit, all information is clearly visible, and all four corners of the document are shown.
The submitted document type does not meet requirements: Different countries/regions have different rules on acceptable document types. Confirm that you are submitting a document type accepted by Binance.
Risk Reminder
During the identity verification update, account functions will be restricted. It is recommended to submit the update application during a period when you do not need frequent trading.
If you fail to complete the necessary information update within the specified timeframe, your account functions may be limited, and even withdrawal activities could be suspended (Binance TH has previously required completion within 180 days).
It is safer to update in advance — waiting until your document actually expires will result in a longer period of account restriction.

How to Confirm You've Completed the Process Correctly
After successfully submitting the update application, log in to your Binance account and go to the [Identity Verification] page to check the review status.
If the status shows "Processing" or "Under Review", your submission was successful; just wait for the results. After approval, your account status will be restored and the new document information will take effect. If you receive a "Rejected" notification, check the reason for rejection, correct your materials accordingly, and resubmit.
