Opening a Binance account is very simple. You only need an email address or a phone number to complete the process, which takes about 2 minutes. You can register via the Binance Official Website, download the Binance Official APP, or view the APP Download & Install Guide.
Preparation Before Registration
To register a Binance account, you need to prepare:
- Email address (recommended) or a phone number
- A secure password (at least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers)
- You must be at least 18 years old
Note: Binance does not support registration using temporary or virtual email addresses. We recommend using mainstream providers like Gmail, Outlook, or other reliable services.
Step 1: Visit the Registration Page
Open the Binance Official Website and click the "Register" button in the top right corner. You can choose to register with either an email or a phone number.
We recommend using an email address for registration because:
- Changing your phone number won't affect access to your account.
- Email verification codes are generally more stable than SMS.
- You can still link your phone number later as a secondary verification method.
Step 2: Fill in Registration Details
- Enter your email address.
- Set a strong password (at least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers).
- If a referral code is required, it will be automatically filled (if you registered through a referral link).
- Agree to the Terms of Service.
- Click "Create Account."
The system will send a verification email to your address. Open the email and click the verification link or enter the 6-digit verification code provided.
Step 3: Complete KYC Identity Verification
It is strongly recommended to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification immediately after registration, as unverified accounts have limited functionality:
| Feature | Unverified | Verified |
|---|---|---|
| C2C Crypto Purchase | ❌ Unavailable | ✅ Available |
| Fiat Deposit | ❌ Unavailable | ✅ Available |
| Withdrawal Limit | Extremely Low | Normal Limit |
| Spot Trading | ✅ Available | ✅ Available |
To complete KYC, you will need:
- ID Card (photos of front and back) or Passport.
- Facial Recognition (a selfie via your phone camera).
The verification process takes about 3-5 minutes, and manual reviews are typically approved within minutes to 24 hours.
Step 4: Security Settings
The first thing to do after registering is to strengthen your account security:
- Enable Google Authenticator — Every login and withdrawal will require a verification code. According to Binance's security reports, accounts with 2FA enabled have over a 99% lower risk of theft.
- Set an Anti-Phishing Code — Every official email Binance sends you will display your unique anti-phishing code.
- Bind your Phone Number — Use this as an additional secure verification method.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't receive the verification email?
Check your spam folder. If you haven't received it after 5 minutes, click "Resend." We recommend using Gmail or Outlook as some regional email providers may experience delays.
How many Binance accounts can one person register?
According to Binance rules, each person can only register one account. Attempting to register multiple accounts using the same identity documents may result in account suspension.
