How to Create a Foreign Apple ID to Download Binance — No Credit Card Needed
Having an overseas Apple ID is a prerequisite for iPhone users who need to download the Binance App. This tutorial walks you through creating a US or Hong Kong Apple ID from scratch — completely free and without requiring a credit card.
Which Region to Choose
When creating an overseas Apple ID, these two regions are recommended:
United States (Recommended):
- The richest App Store catalog
- Binance App updates arrive the fastest
- Access to the most feature-complete version
Hong Kong:
- More Chinese-friendly registration process
- No need to enter an English address
- Binance App is also available
Steps to Create a US Apple ID
Step 1: Prepare What You Need
You will need:
- An email address that has not been used for an Apple ID (Gmail or Outlook recommended)
- A phone number that can receive verification codes
Step 2: Visit the Registration Page
- Open Safari
- Go to appleid.apple.com
- Click "Create Your Apple ID"
Step 3: Fill In Your Information
- Enter your name (pinyin is fine)
- Select "United States" as your country/region
- Enter your email address as the Apple ID
- Set a password (must include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers)
- Complete the security questions
- Enter and verify your phone number
Step 4: Verify Your Email
Apple will send a verification code to your email. Enter the code to complete email verification.
Step 5: Complete Account Details
After signing in with the new Apple ID on your iPhone, the App Store may ask you to complete payment and address information:
- Select "None" for payment method
- Enter a US address in a tax-free state (such as Oregon)
- Enter a phone number in US format
Steps to Create a Hong Kong Apple ID
The Hong Kong registration process is simpler:
- Go to appleid.apple.com and create a new account
- Select "Hong Kong" as your country/region
- You can fill in your information in Chinese
- Any Hong Kong address will work
- Select "None" for payment method
Using the Overseas ID on Your iPhone
Once registration is complete, switch to the overseas Apple ID on your iPhone:
- Open the App Store
- Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner
- Scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out"
- Sign in with your new overseas Apple ID
- Search for "Binance" and download the app
Download and Register on Binance
After successfully downloading the app, open it and create a trading account through the registration link. Enter referral code P394YSTZ during registration to enjoy trading fee discounts. Android users can download the installation package directly from the APK download page.
Account Management Tips
To make future use hassle-free, follow these management practices:
- Record your credentials: Safely store the email and password for your overseas Apple ID
- Enable two-factor authentication: Turn on two-step verification for the overseas Apple ID
- Avoid shared device logins: Do not sign in to your overseas ID on devices you do not trust
- Log in periodically: Sign in every so often to prevent the account from being flagged as inactive
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a VPN to register an overseas Apple ID?
A: No. The Apple ID registration page is accessible from within mainland China. The entire process can be completed on a domestic network. You only need to switch to the overseas Apple ID within the App Store to download apps.
Q: Can I use an overseas Apple ID alongside my domestic one?
A: An iPhone can only have one App Store account signed in at a time. However, you can keep your domestic Apple ID signed in under iCloud (preserving your iCloud data) while switching only the App Store to the overseas ID for downloads.
Q: What if the registration page requires a payment method and there is no "None" option?
A: If the "None" option does not appear, try downloading a free app in the App Store first. The system will then prompt you to complete your account details, and the "None" option should appear in the payment methods.
Summary
Creating an overseas Apple ID is a necessary step for iPhone users who want to download the Binance App. The entire process takes about 10 minutes. Once your overseas ID is ready, you can not only download Binance but also access other apps and content from the international App Store.
