After submitting identity verification materials, many people anxiously await the results. How long does it actually take? What if you don't pass? Let me answer these questions one by one. If you haven't started verification yet, register on Binance and download the Binance APP — verification is most efficient on the APP.
Normal Review Times
In most cases, Binance identity verification review times are as follows:
- Basic verification: Usually completed within minutes to a few hours
- Advanced verification: May take 1-3 business days
Binance uses an AI-powered automatic review system. If your document photos are clear and information is correctly entered, you may pass within minutes.
Why Reviews Sometimes Take Longer
Sometimes reviews take longer than expected. Possible reasons include:
Platform Review Peaks
When markets are highly volatile, a surge of new registrations causes review volumes to spike, leading to longer queue times. In these cases, patience is the only option.
Issues with Submitted Materials
If the AI system can't make an automatic determination, the submission enters a manual review queue, which takes longer. Common issues include:
- Blurry or reflective document photos
- Partially obscured documents in photos
- Failed facial recognition
- Entered information doesn't match the document
What to Do If It Takes Too Long
More Than 48 Hours with No Result
If basic verification has been pending for more than 48 hours, reach out to support through:
- Tap the support icon in the APP to enter live chat
- Describe your issue and provide your registered email
- Support will help check your review progress
What If You're Rejected
If the review doesn't pass, the system usually tells you the reason for failure. Make corrections based on the feedback and resubmit. Common fixes:
- Retake clearer document photos
- Ensure good lighting before doing facial recognition
- Verify that the name and ID number are entered correctly
Tips to Speed Up Verification
To pass verification as quickly as possible:
- ID cards tend to process faster than passports for domestic users
- Place documents on a solid-colored background when photographing
- Make sure all four corners are in the frame
- Remove glasses and hats for facial recognition
- Do it during daytime with good natural lighting
Can I Trade Without Completing Verification?
Without verification, your account features will be restricted. You essentially can't perform P2P trades or withdrawals, so completing verification early is highly recommended.
