You can use your national ID card to complete registration and KYC identity verification on Binance. The ID card is one of the supported document types on Binance, and once verified, you will have access to full trading features. You can register an account and complete verification on the Binance official website or through the Binance official APP. iPhone users can refer to the iOS installation guide.

Detailed Steps for ID Card KYC Verification
Filling Out Basic Information
- Enter your Name (must match exactly with your ID card).
- Fill in your Date of Birth.
- Provide your Residential Address.
- Confirm the information is correct and click "Continue".
Important Note: Ensure the name you enter matches the full name on your ID card; do not use nicknames or unofficial English names.
Uploading ID Card Photos
- Front of ID: Take a clear photo of the front side of your ID card, ensuring all four corners are visible and the text is sharp.
- Back of ID: Take a photo of the back side, ensuring the validity period is clearly legible.
- Photo Requirements:
- Good lighting, no reflections or shadows.
- All four corners of the document must be in the frame; do not crop.
- Text must be clear and readable.
- Do not use photocopies or scanned images.
Facial Recognition Verification
After uploading your documents, you need to perform a live facial verification:
- Ensure you are in a well-lit environment.
- Remove glasses, hats, or anything else obscuring your face.
- Align your face within the frame on the phone screen.
- Complete the required actions as prompted (e.g., blinking, turning your head).
- Verification is usually completed within 10-30 seconds.
Verification Review Time
- Automatic Review: In most cases, it is approved within a few minutes.
- Manual Review: If automatic review fails, it will be sent for manual review, which typically takes 1-3 business days.
- Review Results: You will be notified via APP push notification or email.
KYC Verification Level Descriptions
Binance KYC verification is divided into different levels, each unlocking different features and limits:
Verified (Level 1)
- Requires: ID card + Facial recognition.
- Daily Withdrawal Limit: Equivalent to 50,000 USDT.
- Unlocked Features: Spot trading, P2P trading, deposits, and withdrawals.
Verified Plus (Level 2)
- Requires: Proof of address (utility bills, bank statements, etc.).
- Daily Withdrawal Limit: Equivalent to 2,000,000 USDT.
- Unlocked Features: Higher leverage, fiat currency trading, etc.
For most users, Level 1 verification is sufficient to meet daily trading and withdrawal needs.
Troubleshooting Common ID Card Verification Issues
ID Card Photo Rejection
Common reasons for rejection and their solutions:
- Blurry Photos: Use your phone's rear camera, keep it steady, and maintain a distance of 20-30cm.
- Information Obscured: Ensure your fingers do not cover any text on the document.
- Lighting Issues: Avoid taking photos directly under bright lights to prevent glare; natural light is best.
- Expired Document: The system automatically detects validity; expired ID cards cannot pass verification.
- Photo Format: Supports JPG and PNG formats, with each image not exceeding 5MB.
Facial Recognition Failure
- Ensure your face is facing the camera directly, not at an angle.
- Keep your face uncovered (remove masks, sunglasses, and hats).
- Ensure lighting is even and avoid backlighting.
- If it fails multiple times, try moving to an environment with better lighting.
- Make sure the lens of your phone's front camera is clean.
Name Mismatch
The system uses OCR to automatically recognize the name on the ID. If it does not match what you entered, it will be rejected:
- Confirm you entered the full name as it appears on the ID card.
- Pay attention to regional character differences if applicable.
- For names with special characters, ensure they are entered correctly.
Recommended Settings After Successful Verification
Once KYC verification is approved, it is highly recommended to set up the following security measures immediately:
- Link a Phone Number: To receive security verification codes.
- Link an Email: As a secondary verification method.
- Enable Google Authenticator: The most recommended method for two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Set a Funding Password: A password separate from your login password, required for withdrawals.
- Enable Anti-Phishing Code: This code will appear in all official Binance emails to help you identify legitimate communications.
By completing these settings, you will significantly enhance the security level of your Binance account.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use a temporary ID card for KYC?
You can try, but the success rate is lower. The format of temporary IDs differs from official ones, which may cause OCR errors. Using an official ID card or passport is recommended.
Q2: Can I pass verification if my ID is about to expire?
If the ID is still valid at the time of verification, it can pass. However, if it has less than 3 months of validity remaining, it is recommended to renew it first to avoid having to re-verify soon after.
Q3: Can I register on Binance if I am under 18?
No. Binance requires users to be at least 18 years old. The system automatically checks your birth date during KYC. ID cards for those under 18 will not pass verification.
Q4: How many Binance accounts can I register with one ID card?
Only one. Binance follows a "one person, one account" policy. Your identity information can only be linked to a single account. If you need to switch accounts, you must close the original one first.
Q5: Can I change my identity information after verification?
In principle, identity information cannot be changed once verified. If you need to make changes due to special circumstances like a legal name change, you must contact Binance customer support and provide relevant supporting documents.
