What Do You Need to Prepare Before Registration?
Prerequisites:
Phone number: An Indonesian mobile number that can receive SMS verification codes (operators such as Telkomsel, Indosat, etc. are all fine).
Email: A commonly used email address for receiving platform notifications and password recovery (international email boxes like Gmail, Outlook are recommended).
Identification document: Indonesian ID card (KTP) or passport, must be valid, with clear, unobstructed photo.
Network environment: Indonesian local network can directly access the OKX website and app without additional tools.
Register with your own real-name identification documents. False information will lead to withdrawal restrictions or account freezing later.
Detailed Registration Steps
1. Go to the OKX Official Website or Download the Official App
What to do: Access the OKX platform through official channels.
How to do it:
Desktop: Enter the official URL www.okx.com in your browser, verify the domain name, and avoid clicking on search ads or third-party links.
Mobile: Apple users search for "OKX" in the App Store (need to use an Indonesian-region Apple ID); Android users search for "OKX" in Google Play to download, or scan the QR code from the official website to download the APK installation package.
When is it done: The page loads normally and you can see the "Register" button in the upper right corner or the "Register" entry on the app's homepage.
2. Click "Register" and Fill in Basic Information
What to do: Enter the registration page, choose a registration method, and fill in your phone number.
How to do it:
Click the "Register" button to enter the registration page.
Select "Register with Phone Number" (recommended, more convenient for future logins).
In the country/region code, select +62 (Indonesia).
Enter your Indonesian phone number and click "Get Verification Code".
Enter the 6-digit SMS verification code you receive.
When is it done: The verification code is validated, and you are taken to the password setting page.
3. Set a Login Password
What to do: Create a strong password for your account.
How to do it:
Set an 8-20 character password that must include letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special characters (such as !@#$%).
Do not use simple combinations like birthdays, phone numbers, consecutive numbers (e.g., 12345678).
Confirm the input and submit.
When is it done: The password is successfully set, and the page prompts you to go to the next step or directly jumps to the account homepage.
This password is your login password. Do not reuse it with any other platform (especially email or social media).
4. Select Your Country/Region of Residence
What to do: Choose your country of residence when prompted by the system.
How to do it:
During registration, you will see the option "Which country/region do you live in?".
Select "Indonesia - Indonesia" from the dropdown list.
Confirm and proceed to the next step.
When is it done: The system confirms that the selected region is supported, and you enter the KYC (identity verification) phase.
This step must be correct, because the subsequent KYC verification materials must match the selected country, and fiat trading pairs and payment methods also depend on this setting.
5. Complete Identity Verification (KYC)
What to do: Submit your personal identity information and pass the platform's real-name verification. This is a prerequisite for using deposit, trading, and withdrawal functions; unverified accounts have limited functionality.
How to do it:
Enter the "Identity Verification" page (the system will guide you automatically after registration, or you can find the entrance in "Account - Security Center").
Situation A - Using Indonesian ID card (KTP) for verification:
Fill in your name (exactly as on the ID card) and ID card number.
Upload photos of both the front and back of the KTP (ensure all four corners are complete, no glare, and text is clear).
Follow the prompts for facial recognition (complete actions like blinking, turning head according to on-screen instructions).
Situation B - Using passport for verification:
Fill in your name (as it appears on the passport) and passport number.
Upload a photo of the passport personal information page.
Complete facial recognition.
When is it done: The system displays "Submission successful" and enters the review state. The review is usually completed within 1-3 business days, and you will be notified by SMS or email.
Common reasons for failure:
ID photo is blurry, has glare, or information is obscured.
The name and ID number entered do not match the information on the photo.
The ID document has expired.
Risk warning: Do not register using someone else's identity information, and do not lend your account to others. Once the platform discovers fake identity information, the account will be permanently frozen, and the funds cannot be withdrawn.
6. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Highly Recommended to Do It Immediately
What to do: Add a second security lock to your account to prevent asset theft due to password leakage.
How to do it:
After logging in, go to "Account Settings" → "Security Center".
Find the "Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)" option. It is recommended to use Google Authenticator or Authy.
Use the authenticator app to scan the QR code on the page and enter the generated 6-digit dynamic code to complete the binding.
Write down the backup recovery code displayed during binding and store it in a safe place (do not save in phone album or cloud storage).
When is it done: The security center shows that 2FA is enabled. From then on, you will need to enter the dynamic verification code for logins, withdrawals, and changing security settings.
What to Do After Registration
After confirming that registration is successful and KYC review is approved, you can start depositing Indonesian Rupiah (via supported bank transfers or third-party payment channels) or cryptocurrency on the "Assets" page.
Review waiting time: KYC review is usually completed within 1-3 business days. If you haven't received a result after that time, you can contact OKX official customer service (in-app online chat or email) to check the progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if I get a "This phone number is already registered" prompt during registration?
This means the phone number has already been used to register an OKX account. If you have registered before, just click "Log In". If you are sure it was not done by you, contact OKX customer service for assistance; do not re-register with the same number.
Q: How can Indonesian users deposit Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)?
OKX Indonesia supports IDR deposits through local bank transfers (such as BCA, Mandiri, BNI, etc.) and some third-party payment channels. The specific available payment methods are as displayed on the "Buy Crypto" page in the app, varying by region.
Q: Can I resubmit if my KYC verification fails?
Yes. After logging in, check the reason for failure on the "Identity Verification" page, follow the tips to correct it, and upload the materials again. Common fixes include retaking clear ID photos and double-checking the spelling of personal information.
