How to Register for OKX via iPhone App?

Users can directly search for "OKX" in the Apple App Store, download the official app, and complete registration using a mobile phone number and email as prompted. Mainland China users may need an Apple ID from a supported region to find the app. During registration, both a phone number and email must be bound—neither can be omitted.

1. Download the Official App

What to do: Download the OKX app from the official Apple App Store to ensure you have the genuine version.

How to do it:

Scenario A: Your Apple ID region supports OKX

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for "OKX" or "OKX".
2. Find the app with the developer listed as "OKX Inc." and tap "Get" to download.
3. Any other developer indicates a fake app. Be careful to avoid downloading a counterfeit version.

Scenario B: Your Apple ID region does not support OKX

1. Register a new Apple ID on Apple's website (appleid.apple.com) selecting a country/region that supports OKX (e.g., Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.).
2. Sign in to the App Store with the new Apple ID.
3. Search for "OKX" and complete the download.

When is this step finished: The OKX app icon appears on your home screen, and the app opens to its normal interface.

If you see an "Untrusted Enterprise Developer" alert after downloading, this is an enterprise certificate issue. However, the official App Store version will never trigger this prompt. If you encounter it after downloading from outside the App Store, delete the app immediately.

2. Register an OKX Account

What to do: Open the app and register using your phone number and email.

How to do it:

1. Open the OKX app and tap [Sign Up].
2. Select your country/region and agree to the Terms of Service.
3. Enter your email address, tap to receive an email verification code, then enter the code.
4. Add your mobile number, choose the correct country code, obtain the SMS verification code, and enter it.
5. Set a login password.
6. If you have an invitation code, enter it in the provided field (not required for registration).

When is this step finished: You see a registration success message and land on the account home page.

Prerequisites: Have a mobile number registered in your name and an email address that can receive messages normally.

Common failure reasons:

• Cannot receive the verification code on phone or email: check the spam folder, ensure you have a signal, and confirm the number/address entered is correct.
• "Phone number already in use" message: this means the number has already registered an OKX account. Try to recover the password.

During registration, both a phone number and an email must be bound — you cannot complete the process with only one of them.

3. Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

What to do: After registration, you must complete identity verification; otherwise, you cannot trade, deposit, or withdraw crypto.

How to do it:

1. On the app home screen, tap the profile icon in the top-left corner → tap your nickname/account → [Identity Verification].
2. Upload clear photos of the front and back of your identity document.
3. Follow the prompts to complete facial recognition (nod, blink, etc.).
4. Submit and wait for review, which typically takes from a few minutes up to 24 hours.

When is this step finished: Your account status shows "Verified" or "Standard Identity Verification".

Prerequisites: Be at least 18 years old.

How to check if you have successfully registered?

Log in to the OKX app; you should see your account ID and balance (0 is normal), and check your identity verification status under [Identity Verification] — once these three steps are done, your account is ready. After completing KYC, it is recommended to bind Google Authenticator (2FA) to enhance account security. If you enter an invitation code during registration, the OKX referral code 24U2795 can be entered at that step.
