Identity Verification Level 1

You'll be asked to enter some basic information to complete ID verification level 1:

• Nationality

• Full legal name that's on your government issued ID

• Date of birth

• Country of residence

• Social security number (Why do we need this?)

If you're located in the US, we'll ask if you'd like to link your bank account after completing ID verification level 1. This will allow you to start buying crypto immediately. You can also link your bank account later, before you buy your first crypto.

 

ID Verification Level 2

Add additional information to your profile to increase your daily trading limit to up to $1M.

• A picture of your government-issued driver’s license, identity card, or passport

• A picture of your face, to ensure it matches your ID

 

Located outside the US? You may need to enter additional information to meet local regulations before buying your first crypto, including:

• Government-issued ID

• Proof of address

Note: It may take a few hours to verify your identity after submitting your documents.

Okcoin requests personal information, including financial and tax identification information, in order to comply with U.S. government laws and FINRA rules. Verifying your identity will ensure your account safety and prevent fraudulent activity. We request personal information from all okcoin customers.

If your identity verification is rejected, you will be prompted to try again. Please ensure your photo ID is clear, and the entire document is visible in the image.

 

If your verification is rejected more than 2 times, contact Customer Support for additional guidance. You can contact Customer Support through the app, or send us an email at support@okcoin.com.
