Opening an OKX account starts with an official email or phone registration flow. The available entry points, third-party options, products, and verification requirements depend on the user's actual residence and the current OKX entity.
Registration steps
- Open the official OKX website or official app available for your region.
- Choose email or phone and use a contact channel controlled by you.
- Set a unique password and complete the verification code step.
- Select your actual country or region of residence.
- Complete KYC with truthful information and documents accepted by the current form.
- Enable multi-factor authentication and review the security centre.
Third-party sign-in
If the current form offers a third-party sign-in, review the account relationship and recovery method before confirming. Keep the linked provider secure and make sure the OKX account still has an email or phone that you can access.
If registration fails
Check the region, number format, browser or app version, code delivery, and exact error. Do not select a false region or create duplicate accounts to bypass a restriction. Use official OKX Support when the form or verification path does not match your circumstances.
Continue with the email registration guide, the desktop registration guide, and the KYC guide.
