"Bian" (变) is a common candidate word that appears when typing "bian" in a Chinese input method, and many people use it to search for information about Binance. Identity verification is a necessary step to use Binance — only after completion can you trade normally. If you do not have an account yet, first register on Binance, then download the Binance app for a more convenient mobile experience.
Why Identity Verification Is Required
Identity verification, also known as KYC (Know Your Customer), is a regulatory compliance requirement for exchanges. After completing verification, you can:
- Make deposits and withdrawals
- Participate in C2C trading
- Obtain higher withdrawal limits
- Access all platform features
Unverified accounts have significantly restricted functionality and are essentially unusable for normal operations.
What You Need to Prepare
- National ID card (front and back) or passport
- Phone camera for facial recognition
- Stable internet connection
- Ensure the document is within its validity period
Verification Steps
Step 1: Access the Verification Page
Open the Binance app, tap the profile icon in the top-left corner, and find the "Identity Verification" entry.
Step 2: Select Document Type
Choose the type of document you want to use. An ID card is recommended as it has a higher recognition success rate.
Step 3: Photograph Your Document
Follow the prompts to photograph the front and back of your document. Keep in mind:
- Ensure the entire document is visible in the frame
- Have adequate lighting and avoid glare and shadows
- The photo should be clear with legible text
- Do not cover any information on the document
Step 4: Facial Recognition
Follow the app's prompts to complete facial recognition, which typically requires facing the camera and performing actions like blinking or turning your head as instructed.
Step 5: Wait for Review
After submission, the system will automatically review your application. In most cases, approval takes just a few minutes. In rare cases requiring manual review, it may take a few hours to one day.
Common Reasons for Verification Failure
- Document photo is blurry or has glare
- Document information does not match the name entered during registration
- Poor lighting or incorrect angle during facial recognition
- Using an expired document
What to Do If Verification Fails
If verification does not pass, do not worry. Check the reason for failure and resubmit:
- Retake photos in a well-lit environment
- Confirm the spelling of your name is correct
- If you fail multiple times, contact live customer support for assistance
Limit Changes After Verification
After completing basic verification, your daily withdrawal limit will increase noticeably. If you need higher limits, you can complete advanced verification by providing additional materials such as proof of address.
