Can I Re-register After Deleting My OKX Account?
Yes, you can re-register, but there is a 30-day cooling-off period — after a successful account deletion, the original phone number, email, and identity information will need to wait 30 days before they can be used to register a new account.

1. Understand the Type of Account Deletion First
Make sure you know which type of "deletion" status you're dealing with; the handling rules are completely different for different situations.
Case A: Voluntarily submitted a deletion request
After clearing assets and applying for deletion, the system enters a 30-day cooling-off period
During the cooling-off period, you can log in and cancel the deletion request to restore the account
After 30 days, the account is officially deleted and the information is released
Case B: Account closed by the platform
If the account is closed for violations, you will see a specific login grace period in the closure notification email (the period is subject to the notification content)
During the grace period, only withdrawals are supported; trading, deposits, and other functions are restricted
After the account is closed, the identity information cannot be used to register again
Determine whether it's a voluntary deletion or a platform closure; the former has a chance to re-register, the latter is basically impossible.
2. Cooling-off Period Rules for Voluntary Deletion
Understand the timeline after voluntary deletion to know when you can re-register.
After submitting a deletion request, the account enters a 30-day cooling-off period (some third-party tutorials mention a 7-day cooling-off period, please refer to the official actual rules)
During the cooling-off period, the account status is "pending deletion" and you can still log in to cancel the deletion
After the cooling-off period ends, the account is officially closed, and the phone number, email, and identity information are released
Released information can be used to register a new account or be bound to an existing account
The cooling-off period may vary by region or account status; refer to the period shown on the page when submitting the deletion request.
Be aware of the 30-day cooling-off period and don't expect to reopen the account immediately after deletion.
3. Important Notes for Re-registering After Deletion
After the 30-day cooling-off period ends and the account is officially closed, follow the standard registration process.
Check if information has been released: Try to register with your phone number or email. If the system prompts "this account is already registered," it means the cooling-off period is not over or the account is not fully deleted; continue to wait.
Register with the original information: After the account is officially closed, you can use the original phone number, email, and identity information to create a new account.
Complete KYC again: The new account requires new identity verification; the old account's verification information will not be migrated automatically.
Pay attention to device/IP restrictions: Frequent deletion requests within 30 days on the same device may trigger risk control; if a newly registered account uses an IP previously marked as high-risk, additional video verification may be required.
You can successfully create a new account with the original phone number or email and pass KYC verification.

4. Can an Account Closed by the Platform Be Reopened?
Check whether an account closed by the platform for violations has any possibility of re-registration.
The account closure decision is the final result of the platform's comprehensive assessment and no appeals are accepted
After the account is closed, the identity information cannot be used to register again
The account will be automatically closed after the grace period expires, and you will not be able to log in or perform any operations at that time
Understand that closed accounts cannot be recovered, and the identity information cannot be used to register a new account either.
How to confirm you've handled it correctly?
Log in to OKX to check your account status: if the page shows "deleted" and you no longer get a "registered" prompt when trying to register with the original phone number, it means the information has been released and you can re-register. If the original account was closed by the platform, you cannot open a new account with that identity information again.
