When your papers disagree, Binance verification stops.

The spelling on your ID, the street line on your bill, the light on your face during the liveness check — Binance wants those to agree with each other. When it turns you down, the notice rarely says which one was off. This site marks the places where they drift apart, one sheet at a time.

Straight up: this code carries no fee discount. Use it and you pay exactly what you would pay signing up on your own — it costs you nothing extra^*. It sits here for one reason: if this site is what got you through verification, that code is the only way we ever know.

* Fees are whatever Binance shows on its own pages at the time.

Zhinvo is run independently and is not part of Binance. Some pages carry a Binance referral link.

Before you start

Everything you gather before the sign-up form is open. One of these takes weeks to obtain and the rest take an afternoon, which is why the order matters.

01What to Prepare Before You Open a Binance AccountThe full order of play, and what to settle in your head before each step. 02Proof of Address for Crypto: What Actually CountsHow recent your document has to be where you live, and when you are asked for one at all. 03How to Photograph Your ID So KYC Passes First TimeLight, glare, corners, focus. Five minutes here beats five reshoots later. 04Passport, ID Card or Driving Licence for KYC?Which of the three you can actually use, country by country, and what each costs you later. 05How to Register on Binance From Your Country (2026)Whether your country is still served, the age rule, and the real screen order. 06Binance Identity Verification: The Failure-Proof PathWritten screen by screen around the point where each one tends to break. 07Proof of Address Not in Your Name: What to DoShared flats, living with parents, hostels, employer housing — the fastest route to a document of your own. 08When Your Address Proof Isn’t in EnglishDevanagari, Urdu and Arabic bills, what OCR does with them, and the English statement your bank can issue.

Why it didn’t pass

The rejection notice is short on purpose. These five sheets sort the usual causes so you can work out which one you are looking at.

01Binance Verification Failed: 12 Reasons and FixesSorted by cause, transliteration mismatches first, with the fix under each one. 02Binance Face Verification Failed? Fix the Liveness CheckWhat the camera is comparing, and what to change on a slow connection or an old handset. 03How Long Does Binance Verification Take?Two official numbers, two different meanings, and what a stuck review looks like. 04Resubmitting Binance Verification After a RejectionThe mechanics of a second attempt: when to send it, and what to fix first. 05Why ‘Verified Accounts for Sale’ Always End BadlyBought accounts, fake support asking for your code, paid KYC services. All the same ending.

The rules and your documents

Background, not steps. Knowing why the questions exist saves you from several very slow ideas.

01Who Actually Sees Your ID When You Pass KYCProcessors, retention, and what India’s DPDP and South Africa’s POPIA have to say about it. 02Why You Were Asked to Prove Your Source of FundsWhat sets the request off, what happens if you have nothing to show, and how SoW differs from SoF. 03Can You Watermark an ID Photo for KYC?Tampering risk on one side, misuse worry on the other. Where the line sits. 04Selfie Holding Your ID: When It’s Actually RequiredBinance on the web runs a liveness check instead. Anyone insisting otherwise is worth a second look.
