Register for Binance and use your passport for KYC verification. Download the Binance APP for the smoothest verification experience. Passport is universally accepted for Binance KYC. Our site provides detailed steps.
Why Use a Passport?
- Universally accepted: Works for users from any country
- Single page: Only the information page is needed (no back photo)
- Machine-readable: MRZ zone helps automated verification
- Higher success rate: Passports tend to have clearer photos than ID cards
Steps
Step 1: Enter Personal Information
- Full name (as shown on passport)
- Date of birth
- Passport number
- Nationality
Step 2: Upload Passport Photo
- Open to the information page (with your photo and details)
- Take a clear, well-lit photo
- All text and the photo must be clearly visible
- All four corners must be in frame
Step 3: Facial Recognition
- Follow on-screen prompts (blink, turn head, etc.)
- Ensure good lighting, face directly toward the camera
- Remove glasses, hats, or face coverings
Step 4: Submit and Wait
- Review all information before submitting
- Wait for review (usually minutes for auto-review)
Photo Tips
- Flatten the page: Passport information pages tend to curve. Hold it flat.
- Avoid glare: Passport lamination reflects light. Tilt slightly to avoid glare.
- Include MRZ zone: The two lines of machine-readable text at the bottom are important
- No fingers over text: Hold the passport by the edges
- Dark background: Place on a dark, solid surface for contrast
FAQ
Do I need to upload both pages?
No. Only the information page (the one with your photo and details).
My passport is about to expire. Can I still use it?
Only if it's currently valid. An expired passport will be rejected.
The name on my passport uses non-Latin characters. What do I enter?
Use the romanized name shown in the MRZ zone of your passport.
Can I use a passport from any country?
Yes. Binance accepts passports from virtually all countries.
What if my photo was taken years ago and I look different now?
The facial recognition system accounts for aging. However, significant changes (like heavy beard vs. clean-shaven) might cause issues. If facial recognition fails, try with a more current appearance matching your photo.
Security Tips
- Only upload passport photos on the official Binance platform
- Delete passport photos from your phone after verification
- Never share passport photos via messaging apps
- If asked for passport by someone claiming to be "Binance support" outside the platform, it's a scam
