Condition 1: Age Requirement

Registered users must be at least 18 years old or meet the legal age of majority according to local laws. The platform explicitly requires users to confirm they have reached the legal age in the registration agreement.

Condition 2: Regional Requirement

OKX does not provide services to all countries. Some countries or regions are restricted from registering or using the platform due to regulatory policies.

Currently known restricted regions: United States (including New York State and Hawaii), Canada (Ontario), Malaysia, Singapore, China, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Trinidad and Tobago, Hong Kong (China), Macau (China), Bahamas, Iran, Iraq, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, etc.

If you are located in a restricted region, the system will prompt "Region not available" during registration. This cannot be resolved by modifying the registration region—if the identification document information submitted during subsequent identity verification does not match the registration region, verification will also fail.

Condition 3: Identity Document

Registration requires submitting real identity information to complete KYC verification.

Basic registration stage: Only an email address or phone number and a login password are needed to create an account.

Identity verification stage: Valid identification documents must be uploaded, including:

  • National ID card
  • Passport
  • Driver's license

During verification, you need to upload photos of the front and back of the document and a facial photo online. These must be taken in real-time during verification; existing photos from the gallery cannot be used.

Basic Tools Required for Registration

  • Anemail addressorphone numbercapable of receiving verification codes
  • A stable internet connection (able to access the OKX official website)
