How Turkish Users Fill in Country/Region and International Dialing Code When Registering on OKX

Simply select "Turkey" from the "Country/Region" dropdown on the registration page. The system will automatically switch the international dialing code to +90. Then enter your Turkish mobile number without the leading "0". Below are the detailed steps and key points to note.

1. Open the Registration Page and Find the Phone Number Section

Visit the OKX official website or open the app and click "Sign Up". Under the phone number registration option, you will see a dropdown box with a flag or country abbreviation.

2. Select Country/Region: Turkey

Click this dropdown box and find "Turkey" or "Türkiye" in the list. Once selected, the international dialing code will automatically change to +90. That's the correct way to set the code.

Do not manually type "+90" and then enter the phone number. You must select the country from the list, otherwise the system's phone number format verification may fail.

3. Enter the Phone Number Correctly

Turkish mobile numbers are 10 digits long (usually starting with 5) and have a leading 0. When registering, you need to remove this leading 0. For example, if your number is 05XX XXX XX XX, you only need to enter 5XX XXX XX XX here.

4. Get the Verification Code and Complete Registration

After entering the number, click "Get code". If your phone can receive the SMS normally, it means the country/region and number format are correct. Enter the verification code, set a password, and complete the registration.

Key Prerequisites and Risk Reminders

Before starting registration, confirm the following two points:

• Phone Number Status: Make sure your Turkish mobile number can currently receive international SMS. Some virtual numbers or recently deactivated and reassigned numbers may not receive verification codes.
• Identity Verification Consistency: OKX requires identity verification (KYC). The country of the phone number used during registration (Turkey) must be consistent with the identity documents and residential information submitted later. Otherwise, verification may fail or additional documents may be requested.

Common Reasons for Failure:

• Incorrect Number Format: The most common mistake is including the leading "0" or entering an incorrect number of digits for a Turkish mobile number.
• SMS Blocked: Check if a blocking app is installed on the phone, or if your mobile operator has blocked international SMS.

Risk Warnings:

• Always register an account using your own identity information. Do not use someone else's identity or purchase an account. Otherwise, once risk control is triggered, your funds may become inaccessible.
• During registration and subsequent use, always verify you are on the official OKX website okx.com and beware of phishing sites.

After registration, it is highly recommended to immediately complete identity verification (KYC), bind your email, and set up Google Authenticator. This will greatly enhance your account security and unlock all trading features. If you have questions about proof of residence during subsequent verification, please refer to the OKX Help Center for updates on KYC requirements for the Turkey region.
