Common Questions for Chinese Users Registering
Nationality Selection
During identity verification, select the nationality shown on your ID document, which in most cases is "China". Binance supports users of Chinese nationality to register and use the platform.
Can I Pass Verification With a Chinese ID Card
Absolutely. The Chinese Resident Identity Card is the most commonly used verification document, and the approval rate is very high. Note the following points to increase the chance of passing on the first try:
- The ID photo is clear, and all four corners are fully visible
- Sufficient lighting, avoiding reflections
- Do not cover any information on the document
- Choose a well-lit environment for facial recognition
- Do not wear hats or sunglasses, and face the camera directly
Is There an Age Limit
Yes, Binance requires users to be at least 18 years old. Minors cannot pass identity verification.
Can I Trade With RMB After Registration
Yes, you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies with RMB through the P2P trading feature. P2P supports Alipay, WeChat, and bank cards, which are the main deposit and withdrawal methods for Chinese users.
Are There Legal Risks in Using Binance
Personal holding and trading of cryptocurrencies are not explicitly prohibited by law in China. The Chinese government mainly prohibits the business operation of cryptocurrencies, such as opening exchanges, issuing tokens, and mining. As an individual user trading on an overseas exchange, it is currently in a legal gray area, but in practice, a large number of Chinese users are using it normally.
However, please note:
- Do not participate in any money laundering or scam activities using cryptocurrency
- Exchange RMB and cryptocurrency through legitimate channels
- Keep good records of your transactions
- Consider tax implications if there are large transactions

Cryptocurrency is highly volatile, do not invest all your assets. Only invest money you can afford to lose.
