Opening an exchange account: sign-up problems and fixes

Getting an exchange account opened in the first place: which details the form asks for, where the referral code box is and how a code can still be added after sign-up, why an email or text code sometimes never shows up, and which documents you will be asked for right after sign-up. If your account already exists and the trouble started at the identity check, the ID documents and face check topics are the better place to look.

    Yes, within 30 days of registering, if all six of Binance’s conditions hold, including no deposit, no trading and no referrer yet. You enter the code on its referral binding page.

  3. No Passport? The ID Documents Crypto Exchanges Accept Instead

    No passport? It is one option, not the rule. The menu that appears once you pick the country that issued your ID is the list that counts for you.

  4. Exchange Verification Code Not Received? Email and SMS Checks in Order

    Find where the code went before asking again: email codes hide in spam, junk or another inbox, and texts fail on coverage, signal or a blocked sender. Help centres also want a gap between requests.
