Typical verification steps

A basic flow may request personal information, an accepted photo ID, and a facial verification. Additional checks or proof of address may be necessary for certain limits or services.

Prepare a clean submission

Enter details exactly as they appear on your identity document. Photograph the original document in good lighting without edits, filters, glare, or cropped corners.

  • Check document validity
  • Use a supported file and document type
  • Keep your connection stable
  • Respond to official requests in your account

Security during KYC

Verification data is sensitive. Avoid public devices and unsolicited links. Bybit support should not need your password, two-factor code, seed phrase, or remote access to your computer.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Bybit without KYC?

Access and limits depend on current policy, jurisdiction, and product. Do not assume unverified access is available.

Why was my Bybit KYC rejected?

Possible reasons include unclear images, data mismatch, expired or unsupported documents, duplicate accounts, or eligibility restrictions.

Does KYC make crypto trading safe?

No. KYC addresses identity and compliance requirements; it does not remove market, leverage, custody, or cybersecurity risk.
