How to update your personal information on Binance?

How to Access Your Binance Account Settings

1. Log in to your Binance account using your registered email address and password.

2. After logging in, move your cursor to the profile icon located in the top-right corner of the homepage.
3. Click on “Security” from the dropdown menu to enter the security settings dashboard.
4. Ensure that two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled to protect your changes from unauthorized access.
5. Navigate to the “Personal Information” section, usually found under the “Profile” or “Identity Verification” tab.

Steps to Modify Personal Details

1. Within the “Personal Information” section, locate the fields available for editing such as name, country of residence, or date of birth.

2. Click the edit icon (usually a pencil symbol) next to the field you wish to update.
3. Enter the new information carefully, making sure it matches the official documents you used during registration.
4. If your full legal name requires correction, you may need to go through a re-verification process with updated government-issued ID.
5. Save the changes by clicking the “Confirm” or “Update” button, and follow any additional prompts including email or 2FA verification.

Updating Verified Identity Information

1. If your KYC-verified details like nationality or ID number need adjustment, proceed to the “Identification” section under “Verification”.

2. Select “Update Information” and choose the document type you originally submitted (e.g., passport, driver’s license).
3. Upload clear, high-resolution images of your updated identification document showing both front and back sides.
4. Binance does not allow frequent changes to verified identity data to prevent fraud, so ensure all uploaded documents are current and valid.
5. Submit the request and wait for review, which typically takes between 1 to 3 business days.

Handling Email and Phone Number Changes

1. To change your registered email, go to “Security Settings” and select “Change Email”.

2. Enter your current password and the new email address you want to use.
3. Confirm the change by clicking the link sent to your new email inbox.
4. For phone number updates, select “Change Phone Number”, input your current number and verification code, then provide the new number.
5. Both actions require completing a CAPTCHA and receiving an OTP via SMS or authenticator app to finalize.
