How to Sign Up on Binance
A complete, beginner-friendly walkthrough — from creating your account to completing identity verification (KYC).
- 01
Create Your Account
Go to the official Binance website (binance.com) or download the official app. Register with your email address or phone number, set a strong, unique password, and accept the Terms of Use.
- 02
Enter a Referral / Inviter Code (Optional but Recommended)
During registration you'll see an optional field labeled "Referral ID," "Referral Code," or "Inviter." Entering a valid code links your account to a fee-discount (kickback) relationship — and it can only be applied at sign-up, never added later. Before you continue, check that the page shows "Your commission kickback rate: __%" beneath the code. If that line doesn't appear, don't proceed.

Verify Your Email or Phone
Enter the verification code sent to your email or phone to confirm your contact details.
- 04
Secure Your Account with 2FA
Enable two-factor authentication using an authenticator app (recommended over SMS), and set an anti-phishing code for an extra layer of protection.
- 05
Start Identity Verification (KYC)
Go to Profile → Identification, or tap "Verify." Your verification level determines your account limits. All new users must reach "Verified" status to deposit, trade, or withdraw — unverified accounts are restricted to "Withdrawal Only."
- 06
Select Your Country & Enter Your Details
Choose your country of residence (this determines which documents are accepted) and enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your ID. Once confirmed, these details can't be changed.
- 07
Upload Your Government ID
Prepare a passport, national ID card, or driver's license. Take clear, well-lit photos of the front and back, making sure every detail is readable.
- 08
Complete Facial Verification
Finish with a quick liveness check. Remove glasses, hats, or masks, find good lighting, and follow the on-screen prompts.
- 09
Wait for Approval
Submissions are usually reviewed within 48 hours, though it's often faster. Avoid submitting multiple times, as duplicates can delay the review. Verification rejected or stuck? Our full breakdown covers the most common errors and how to fix each one — How to Pass Binance KYC Verification.
💡 Pro Tip
A fee discount can't be applied after your account is created. Make sure your kickback rate is visible on the registration page before you sign up.
