Download the Official Android App
What to do: Download the OKX Android app from a trustworthy source – avoid fake apps.
How to do it:
Open the OKX website (www.okx.com), tap the download icon, scan the QR code with your phone's browser, tap "Local Download" or "Download OKX Mobile", and follow the prompts to install.
If you use Google Play, just search for "OKX".
Note: Do not scan the QR code with WeChat (it may be blocked); use your phone's browser instead. The official iOS app is published by "OKX Inc." – the same applies to Android. Check the developer name when downloading.
When is this step finished: The OKX app icon is on your home screen and opens correctly.
Prerequisites: Your phone has an internet connection and meets the Android version requirements.
Common failure point: Downloading a fake app via search engine ads or links shared in groups. Always get the installation file from the official website or Google Play.
Risk warning: Apps from unknown sources may contain malicious code that steals your account data. Verify the source before installing.
Open App, Tap Sign Up, and Select Country/Region
What to do: Open the OKX app, tap "Sign Up" or "Create Account", and choose your country/region of residence.
How to do it:
After opening the app, tap the "Sign Up" button. The registration page will ask you to select a country/region. Pick the country where you actually live from the drop‑down list – this choice affects your later KYC verification and the services available to you. Don't just pick any country.
Read and agree to the OKX Terms of Service, Risk & Compliance Disclosure, and Privacy Policy Statement, then tap "Create Account".
When is this step finished: You reach the next page where you can enter your email and invitation code.
Prerequisites: The app is successfully installed.
Common failure point: Choosing the wrong country/region, which may cause your KYC application to be rejected. Select your actual country of residence, not your nationality.
Enter Email and Get Verification Code
What to do: Enter your email address, then receive and input the 6‑digit verification code.
How to do it:
Type your email address in the "Email" field (QQ Mail, 163 Mail, Outlook, etc. all work). The invitation code is optional – leaving it blank won't stop you from registering. If you have one, you can fill in the OKX referral code 24U2795. Tap "Sign Up", and a 6‑digit code will be sent to your email. Enter the code to verify your email.
When is this step finished: The verification code has been entered and the page shows "verification successful", taking you to the next step (bind phone number).
Prerequisites: Your email inbox can receive messages normally.
Common failure point: A typo in the email address means you won't get the code. Double‑check before submitting. Also check your spam folder if the email isn't in your inbox.
Bind Phone Number and Get Verification Code
What to do: Add your phone number, choose the correct country code, receive and enter the verification code.
How to do it:
After your email is verified, the page will ask you to add a phone number. Select the right country code from the drop‑down menu (e.g. +86 for mainland China), enter your phone number, and tap "Next" or "Verify Now". Then input the 6‑digit code sent to your phone.
When is this step finished: The SMS code has been entered and the page shows "verification successful".
Prerequisites: Your phone can receive SMS messages.
Common failure point: Choosing the wrong country code so you don't receive the code. For example, selecting Hong Kong (+852) instead of mainland China (+86). The phone number must belong to you, otherwise KYC will fail later.
Set Login Password and Complete Registration
What to do: Create a strong login password to finish registration.
How to do it:
Enter a password that mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters; use at least 8 characters. OKX recommends not using the same password as your email. After confirming the password, tap "Done" or "Next".
Once registration is complete, the system will prompt you to start identity verification (KYC).
When is this step finished: The app shows that registration was successful and you are logged into the main screen.
Prerequisites: Both phone and email verifications are completed.
Common failure point: Using a password that is too simple or identical to your email password, which increases the risk of account theft.

After Registration, Complete KYC to Trade
What to do: Finish identity verification as soon as possible after signing up.
How to do it:
Registration is only the first step. An unverified account cannot buy/sell crypto, deposit/withdraw, borrow, or transfer funds. In the app, go to "Profile" → "Identity Verification" and follow the instructions to upload photos of your ID/passport and a selfie.
When is this step finished: You have submitted your KYC application. Approval usually takes from a few hours up to 1–3 business days.
Prerequisites: You have your ID document handy and can take photos of it.
Common failure point: Blurry or reflective documents, or the name on the document doesn't match your registration details. One ID document can only be used to verify one OKX account.
What to do next:
After registering, complete identity verification (KYC) first – an unverified account cannot buy crypto or deposit/withdraw funds. While your verification is being reviewed, you can go to "Security Settings" to enable Google Authenticator. Only deposit funds after the verification is approved. Do not rush to add money to an unverified account; that may cause issues.
