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

Suggestions After Registration

Binance has a "Binance Academy", providing a wealth of free cryptocurrency educational content. Spending a few hours learning the basics will be very helpful for your subsequent investment decisions.
