How to Register a US Apple ID? Download Binance in One Step

A US Apple ID is the first choice for many people because the US App Store has the most comprehensive selection of apps, including cryptocurrency trading apps like Binance and OKX. After registering a US Apple ID, not only can you download Binance, but it will also be convenient to download other apps not available in your domestic region in the future. First, go to the Binance official website to register your trading account, and then use your US Apple ID to download the official Binance app from the App Store. For the complete installation process on Apple devices, please refer to the iOS installation guide.

Why Choose the US Region

Advantages of the US Region

• Largest Number of Apps: The US App Store has the largest number of apps globally.
• Fastest Updates: New versions of many apps are listed first in the US region.
• Binance is Definitely Available: The Binance app is stably listed in the US App Store.
• Rich English Resources: A massive amount of English applications and content.
• Broad Use Cases: Besides Binance, you won't need to register a new account if you want to download other overseas apps in the future.

Limitations of the US Region

• The interface is in English (but your phone's system language can remain Chinese or another language).
• Paid apps require a US payment method or US region gift cards.
• You need to fill in US address information.

However, these limitations are not an issue for downloading free apps (like Binance).

Preparation Work

Mandatory Materials

1. New Email: Prepare an email that has not been registered as an Apple ID. Gmail or Outlook is recommended.
2. Phone Number: Used to receive verification codes. You can use your domestic phone number (+86).
3. US Address: Required during registration. Reference addresses will be provided below.

US Address References

You need a real US address. Here are a few commonly used tax-free state addresses (choosing a tax-free state can help you avoid being taxed when purchasing paid content in the App Store):

Oregon - No Sales Tax:

• Street: 1600 NW Bethany Blvd
• City: Portland
• State: Oregon
• Zip: 97006
• Phone: (503) 555-0123

Delaware - No Sales Tax:

• Street: 100 W 10th St
• City: Wilmington
• State: Delaware
• Zip: 19801
• Phone: (302) 555-0123

Montana - No Sales Tax:

• Street: 100 E Broadway St
• City: Missoula
• State: Montana
• Zip: 59802
• Phone: (406) 555-0123

The benefit of choosing a tax-free state address is that if you want to purchase paid apps in the US App Store in the future, you will not be charged an additional sales tax.

• PayPal: If you have a US PayPal account.

For users who only download free apps like Binance, there is no need to top up any funds.

Precautions and Common Pitfalls

Do Not Switch Apple IDs in Settings

The account under "Settings → Apple ID" controls iCloud. Do not switch to your US account here, or your iCloud data (photos, backups, contacts, etc.) may be affected.

Only switch accounts within the App Store.

Do Not Switch Frequently

Do not repeatedly switch App Store accounts multiple times in a single day, as Apple may temporarily restrict the account. Generally, switching 1-2 times a day is safe.

Save Account Information Safely

Keep the US Apple ID email, password, and registered phone number in a safe place. If you forget your password, you will need the email and phone number to reset it.

Beware of Fake Apps

When searching for "Binance" in the US App Store, some fake apps may appear. Look for the following indicators:

• The developer is "Binance Inc."
• It has a high number of ratings and reviews.
• The icon is the standard Binance logo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I Need a US Phone Number to Register a US Apple ID?

No. You can use a phone number from any country to receive verification codes during Apple ID registration. Using your domestic phone number (+86) is perfectly fine.

Is Registering a US Apple ID Free?

Yes, completely free. There are no charges for registering an Apple ID. Downloading free apps (including Binance) also costs nothing.

Can I Change the Country if I Selected the Wrong One During Registration?

You can change it, but it's rather troublesome. It is recommended to confirm that you selected "United States" during registration. If you made a mistake, you can log into appleid.apple.com and change the Country/Region under "Personal Information", but you may need to provide a payment method for the corresponding region.

Will My US Apple ID be Banned?

Normal usage will not result in a ban. However, the following behaviors may lead to account restrictions:

• Frequently switching regions.
• Repeatedly logging in and out on multiple devices.
• Account information being deemed fake by Apple.

As long as you use it normally (logging in regularly, not switching frequently), you won't have any issues.

How Many US Apple IDs Can One Person Register?

There is no explicit limit on the number, but the same phone number can only be linked to a few Apple IDs. It is recommended to just register one US account, as maintaining multiple accounts is unnecessary.

Can I Still Use Domestic Apple Services After Registering a US Apple ID?

Your domestic Apple ID will not be affected at all. Services like iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime will function completely normally as long as you continue to log in with your domestic account. The US Apple ID is only used for downloading apps in the App Store.
