How to Register After Downloading Binance?
After downloading the Binance APP, many newcomers get stuck at registration. The process is actually quite simple and takes just a few minutes. This article walks you through it step by step. If you haven't downloaded yet, download the official Binance APP first, then create an account through our registration link to get fee discounts.
Before You Register
Have the following ready:
- A commonly used email address (Gmail or Outlook recommended) or phone number
- A secure password (at least 8 characters with uppercase, lowercase, and numbers)
- ID document (needed for later KYC verification)
- Stable internet connection
Method 1: Email Registration (Recommended)
Step 1: Open APP and Tap Register
Open the Binance APP and find the "Register" button on the home page.
Step 2: Select Email Registration
On the registration page, select the "Email" tab and enter your email address.
Step 3: Set Password
Enter a strong password. Requirements: at least 8 characters with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Adding special characters is recommended. Don't use birthdays or phone numbers.
Step 4: Enter Referral Code (Optional but Recommended)
If you see a referral/invitation code field, entering one gets you trading fee discounts. Registering through our site link auto-fills the code.
Step 5: Email Verification
After clicking "Register," a verification email with a 6-digit code is sent. Enter the code to complete verification.
Note: The code expires in 5-10 minutes. Check spam folders if not received, or click "Resend."
Method 2: Phone Registration
Step 1: Switch to the "Phone" tab on the registration page.
Step 2: Select your country code by tapping the flag icon.
Step 3: Enter your phone number and password (same requirements as email).
Step 4: Enter the SMS verification code sent to your phone.
Three Must-Do Tasks After Registration
1. Complete Identity Verification (KYC)
Accounts without KYC have limited functionality — no C2C trading and low withdrawal limits.
KYC process:
- Go to the "Identity Verification" page
- Select your nationality/region
- Upload front and back photos of your ID
- Complete facial recognition
- Wait for review (usually minutes to hours)
2. Set Up Security Verification
Strongly recommended: bind Google Authenticator:
- Download Google Authenticator from your app store
- In Binance APP: Security Settings → Google Authenticator
- Scan the QR code or manually enter the key
- Enter the 6-digit dynamic code to complete binding
- Be sure to back up the key! You'll need it if your phone is lost
3. Set Anti-Phishing Code
In security settings, set a custom anti-phishing code. All future official Binance emails will include this code, helping you identify real vs. fake emails.
Common Registration Issues
Q: "This email is already registered"? A: You may have registered before. Try the "Forgot Password" feature to recover your account.
Q: Not receiving verification codes? A: Check spam folders; verify the email address is correct; wait 2 minutes then click "Resend"; try a different email if repeated attempts fail.
Q: Keep getting network errors? A: Check your connection; try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data; clear APP cache and retry.
Q: Can I register with a local phone number? A: Yes, phone numbers from most countries can register for Binance.
Conclusion
Binance's registration process is straightforward — email registration is recommended. Complete KYC verification and security settings promptly after registration, and you're ready to begin your cryptocurrency journey. The entire process from download to trading takes approximately 10-30 minutes.
