The first step to start trading cryptocurrency is registering an account on an exchange. Binance is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, and the registration process is very straightforward. You can register directly through Binance Official. Android users can also download the Binance Official APP and register within the app. iPhone users should see the iOS Installation Guide.
Preparation Before Registration
Before registering on Binance, you'll need to prepare:
- A frequently used email address (Gmail, Outlook, or other international email recommended) or phone number
- ID card or passport (needed for KYC verification later)
- A stable internet connection
We recommend registering with email, as it's more stable than a phone number and won't be lost due to number changes.
Binance Registration Steps
Step 1: Open the Binance Website
Open the Binance official website in your browser and click the "Register" button in the upper right corner. If the page is in a different language, you can switch it in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Choose Registration Method
Binance supports two registration methods:
- Email registration: Enter your email address and password
- Phone registration: Enter your phone number and password
The password must be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Set a strong password and don't reuse passwords from other websites.
Step 3: Complete Email/Phone Verification
The system will send a verification code to your email or phone. Enter the code to complete basic registration. The code is typically valid for 10 minutes — if you don't receive it, click resend.
Step 4: Set Up Security Verification
After successful registration, we strongly recommend immediately enabling Google Authenticator as two-factor authentication. This way, even if your password is compromised, no one can log into your account.
Setup steps:
- Download the Google Authenticator app
- In Binance security settings, select "Google Authenticator"
- Scan the QR code with Google Authenticator
- Enter the 6-digit dynamic code to complete binding
- Be sure to back up the recovery key — you'll need it when switching phones
KYC Identity Verification
After registration, you must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification to use deposits, trading, and withdrawal features.
KYC Verification Process
- Go to the "Identity Verification" page
- Select your nationality
- Upload front and back photos of your ID card (or passport information page)
- Complete facial recognition
- Wait for review (typically a few minutes to a few hours)
KYC Tips
- Photos must be clear, with all four corners visible and nothing obscured
- Ensure good lighting during facial recognition, and remove hats and glasses
- If verification fails, you can resubmit — it won't affect your account
- Once approved, you can start depositing and trading
What to Do After Registration
After completing registration and KYC, you can:
- Deposit USDT: Buy via P2P or transfer from another platform
- Download the Binance app: Android users can download the APK directly; iPhone users need to switch Apple IDs
- Start trading: Begin with spot trading — try buying a small amount of BTC or ETH
FAQ
Q: What if I can't receive the verification code during registration?
A: Check your spam folder, or try switching registration methods (email instead of phone or vice versa). If using a local phone number, there may be delays — wait a few minutes and try again.
Q: Is KYC mandatory after registration?
A: Yes — without KYC, you can't deposit or trade. KYC is a mandatory requirement at all regulated exchanges to prevent money laundering and fraud.
Q: Can one person register multiple Binance accounts?
A: No. Binance's policy is one account per identity. Multiple accounts under one identity will result in account suspension.
