Which Document Is Best?
Passport is universally recommended:
- Accepted everywhere
- Single page (information page only)
- Machine-readable zone aids automated verification
- Higher first-time approval rate
National ID is convenient if:
- You don't have a passport
- Your ID card is in good condition
- Both sides can be clearly photographed
Multi-Document Strategy
If one document fails verification, try another:
- First attempt: National ID card
- If rejected: Try passport
- Last resort: Driver's license
Photo Requirements (All Documents)
- Clear, well-lit, all four corners visible
- No glare, shadows, or obstructions
- All text must be legible
- Document must be valid (not expired)
- No digital editing or filters
FAQ
Can I use an expired document? No. Documents must be currently valid.
Can I use a document from a different country than my residence? In most cases, yes. Passport is the most flexible.
What if my document is in a non-Latin script? Binance supports documents in most languages. Enter the romanized name from your passport MRZ if applicable.
Can I change my KYC document later? Not easily. The initial verified document becomes your permanent record.
Security Tips
- Only submit documents on the official Binance platform
- Delete document photos from your phone after verification
- Never share ID photos through messaging apps
- If re-verification is needed, use the same document type if possible
