ID documents for exchange verification: accepted, rejected, already used

Everything about the document part of identity verification: passports, national ID cards, driving licences and residence permits, what exchanges accept, why a photo of a valid document still gets rejected, what to do when an ID is reported as already used, and how name mismatches get corrected. Pages compare several exchanges where the rules differ and use Binance for the step-by-step screens.

  3. Binance Verification Failed: Fix It by the Message You See

  9. Proof of Address for Crypto Exchanges: What Counts and What Gets Rejected

    If it’s under three months old, shows your full name and home address, and comes from a bank, a utility or a government office, it fits the published rules at most exchanges we checked.
