What you may need

Binance may request personal details, a government-issued identity document, a live selfie or facial check, and proof of address. Requirements can differ by entity and verification level.

  • A valid, unexpired document
  • Clear images with all edges visible
  • Consistent legal name and date of birth
  • A secure device and private connection

Common causes of delay

Blurry images, glare, cropped documents, mismatched details, unsupported document types, and network tools that obscure location can trigger rejection or additional review. Follow only the instructions in the official app or website.

Protect your identity

Do not send documents to social-media support accounts or referral publishers. Use the official verification flow, enable anti-phishing protections, and be alert to anyone requesting remote device access.
