Binance is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, and creating a Binance account is the first step into the crypto world. You can register through Binance Official, or download the Binance Official APP to complete the entire process on your phone. iPhone users who aren't sure how to install it can check the iOS Installation Guide first. The entire registration process is very simple — it only takes a few minutes. Here's a detailed walkthrough of each step.
Preparation Before Registration
Before you start registering, you'll need the following:
A commonly used email address or phone number. We recommend international email services like Gmail or Outlook for better reliability. Domestic email services work too, but may occasionally have issues receiving verification codes. If you prefer registering with a phone number, domestic numbers are supported.
Make sure your network allows you to access the Binance website. Due to regional restrictions, you may need to use certain network tools to successfully load Binance's pages in some areas.
Have your ID document ready. While registration itself doesn't require it, you'll need to complete identity verification immediately after, so having it prepared lets you finish everything in one go.
Detailed Steps for Email Registration
Open the Binance Official homepage and click the "Register" button in the upper right corner. The page will ask you to choose between email or phone number registration. Let's cover the email process first.
Step one: Enter your email address. Make sure it's spelled correctly — this email will be your Binance login going forward.
Step two: Set a login password. The password must be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. We recommend setting a strong password — don't use easily guessed combinations like birthdays or phone numbers.
Step three: If you have a referral code, enter it here. If not, leave it blank. Using a referral code can provide a percentage discount on trading fees, so it's worth entering one if you have it.
Step four: Check the terms of service box, then click the "Create Account" button.
Step five: The system will send a verification email with a six-digit code to your email address. Find this email and enter the code. If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder or click "Resend."
After entering the verification code, your Binance account is successfully registered. The system will automatically redirect you to the homepage, and you're now logged in.
Detailed Steps for Phone Number Registration
If you prefer registering with a phone number, the process is similar. On the registration page, select the "Phone Number" option and choose your country code. Enter your phone number.
Password requirements are the same as email registration. After clicking "Create Account," the system sends an SMS verification code to your phone. Enter the code to complete registration.
Note that SMS verification codes have an expiration time, typically valid for 10 minutes. If it expires, you'll need to request a new one. When you receive the code, never share it with anyone — Binance staff will never ask for your verification code.
Essential Steps After Registration
After successfully registering your account, don't rush to buy crypto — there are several things to handle first.
The first priority is completing identity verification, commonly known as KYC. Accounts without KYC verification face many restrictions, such as low daily withdrawal limits and inability to use P2P trading. The verification process is straightforward: in the app, tap your profile picture to enter the personal center, select Identity Verification, and follow the prompts to upload ID photos and complete facial recognition.
Second, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). We strongly recommend binding Google Authenticator — this way, even if your password is compromised, no one can log into your account. You can find this option in the security settings.
Finally, set up an anti-phishing code. Once enabled, every email from Binance will contain this specific code, allowing you to verify whether an email is genuinely from Binance. This effectively prevents phishing email scams.
Q: Do I need a VPN to register on Binance?
A: Depending on your region's network environment, you may need network tools to access Binance Official. We recommend using a stable network connection to complete registration and subsequent operations.
Q: Can one person register multiple Binance accounts?
A: No. Binance's policy allows one account per person, verified through KYC. If multiple accounts are detected under the same identity, you risk having accounts frozen.
Q: Is it better to register with email or phone number?
A: We recommend email registration, particularly with international email services like Gmail. The advantage of email is that changing your phone number later won't affect your login, and receiving various notifications is more convenient and reliable.
