2 hours ago

Bybit is one of the mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, supporting spot trading, contracts, wealth management, and other functions. For new users, there are three things to get done before focusing on trading:

  1. Register an account using the official link

  2. Complete identity verification (KYC) to unlock all features

  3. Immediately enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure the account

The entire process usually takes a few minutes to a dozen minutes. Below is written in the order it should be performed.

Important Note: This article only covers the registration of a Bybit exchange account and does not involve Bybit Card / U Card. Please only operate through the official Bybit website or the official app; do not click on links for "agent registration" found in social media, search ads, or private messages.

1. Confirm two things before registration

1. Whether Bybit can be used in your area

Bybit officially clarifies that it does not provide services to users in certain regions, including the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, as well as jurisdictions with restricted access such as North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Sudan. The complete list is subject to the "Service Restricted Countries" section on the official website and will be updated from time to time.

The commonly used switch is TAIWAN region.

2. Prepare these materials in advance

  • Common email: Officially recommended to use Gmail, iCloud, ProtonMail. Withdrawal typically requires email + Google Authenticator, and the email must be长期登录able.

  • Phone number (optional): Each email and phone number can only be linked to one Bybit account.

  • Valid identification document: ID card, passport, or driver's license, for KYC. The document must be clear, uncut, and unedited.

  • Google Authenticator or a similar authenticator: Bind it immediately after registration, do not delay.

2. Where to go to the registration page (first identify the official)

App downloads should also only go through official channels:

iOS: Search Bybit in the App Store

Android: Search Bybit in Google Play

If the app is not available in the store: only download the official APK from the "Download App" page on the Bybit official website; do not use third-party APK sites.

On the webpage, click "Register / Sign Up" to access the account opening page, then enter the verification code. The email and phone number procedure is similar.


Then complete the human verification + verification code: After checking the user agreement, complete the reCAPTCHA, then enter the 6-digit verification code received via email or SMS. If the verification code is not received, check the spam folder first, then wait 1–2 minutes before resending.
Do not repeatedly click, as this may trigger risk control measures.

Set the login password

After verification, set the login password.
Recommendations:

  • Length is sufficient

  • Combination of upper/lowercase letters + numbers

  • Do not use the same password as your email password or passwords for other exchanges

  • Store it securely with a password manager; do not screenshot and send it over chat software

After completion, you will enter the account homepage, completing this registration step.

3. Complete KYC identity verification

Successful registration only means you have an account. To use trading normally, increase withdrawal limits, and unlock complete products, identity verification is usually required.
Bybit personal verification is roughly divided into three levels:

Level

Main Requirements

Purpose

Standard

Identity assessment + Identity proof (document + face recognition)

This is the first step for ordinary users

Advanced

Provide address proof from the last 3 months

Increases limits

Pro

Conduct enhanced due diligence, income proof, etc.

For large amounts/professional needs

Most beginners will find that the standard verification is sufficient.

KYC operation path

  1. After logging in, click on the profile picture in the upper right corner → Account

  2. Go to Identity Verification

  3. Select your current country/region of residence (must be true; it’s very troublesome to change if selected incorrectly)

  4. Select the country of issue and type of document

  5. Take a photo of the document (name and date of birth must be fully visible)

  6. Follow the prompts to do facial recognition (face the camera, ensure good lighting, turn your head/blink as instructed)

  7. Wait for the review after submission

Some users may have the system automatically conduct another identity assessment or request to fill out a questionnaire after document approval. Just fill it out truthfully.

Reasons why photos may be rejected

  • Glare, blurriness, or missing corners

  • Fingers blocking the document number

  • Processed with editing software

  • Document expired

  • Face and environment lighting too dark

If rejected, simply retake the photo based on the return reason. If facial recognition fails multiple times, the official recommends waiting about 30 minutes before trying again or submitting a support ticket to customer service.

4. Three security settings to do immediately after registration

After the account can log in, do not rush to deposit. Lock the account in this order:

  1. Bind Google Authenticator (strongly recommended)
    Path is usually: profile picture → Security / Security Settings → Two-Factor Authentication. After binding, write down the backup key in an offline place, so you can recover it when changing phones.

  2. Enable withdrawal whitelist (if this option is available, enable it)
    Only allow withdrawal to your commonly used addresses, which can block many phishing withdrawals.

  3. Check email, phone number, and anti-phishing code
    The anti-phishing codes in official emails and site messages must match your own settings; if they do not match, do not click on links.

Email and Google Authenticator are also mentioned by the official as key verification methods in the withdrawal process.


5. What to do to start using the exchange after registration

Once both the account and KYC are approved, the basic path on the exchange side is:

  1. Deposit: Chain on-chain to recharge cryptocurrencies or use the supported coin purchase channel

  2. Funds enter the Unified Trading Account (UTA)

  3. Spot or contract trading

When depositing, make sure to verify: cryptocurrency type, chain network, recharge address, Memo/Tag (some cryptocurrencies must be filled in). If you transfer on the wrong network or fill in the wrong address, the assets are usually unrecoverable. This article focuses on registration; funding and trading can be written separately to avoid confusion with new account openings.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is KYC mandatory?

Being able to register does not equate to being able to use all features. To trade normally and increase withdrawal limits, identity verification is usually required. Specific limitations are subject to what displays on your account page. Q2: What if I forgot to fill in the invitation code?

It cannot be added later. The official states that once the account is created, the invitation code cannot be added, modified, or deleted.
Q3: Can an email and phone each open one account?

Cannot bind in duplicates. Each email and each phone number can only be linked to one account. Q4: Can mainland Chinese users open an account directly?

According to official terms, mainland China is a restricted service area; the official website may also prompt that the current IP cannot operate. Please refer to the official real-time prompts.

Q5: What should I do if I can't find the app?

First, ensure you are searching for "Bybit" in the official store. If the store doesn’t have it, only obtain the official installation package from the official download page; do not download installation files from unknown sources.
