How to verify address on Bybit? (KYC Level 2)

Understanding KYC Level 2 on Bybit

1. KYC Level 2 on Bybit is a mandatory verification tier that unlocks higher withdrawal limits, access to margin trading, and participation in certain token sales.

2. This level requires users to submit both identity documents and proof of residential address.

3. The address verification step specifically confirms that the user resides at the location stated during registration.

4. Bybit does not accept P.O. boxes or virtual office addresses as valid proof.

5. Documents must be legible, unaltered, and issued within the last three months.

Accepted Address Proof Documents

1. A recent utility bill — electricity, water, gas, or internet — showing full name and physical address.

2. A bank statement issued by a regulated financial institution with visible account holder name and address.

3. A government-issued tax notice or property tax receipt containing name and residential address.

4. A formal lease agreement signed by both tenant and landlord, with matching names and dated within 90 days.

5. A local authority-issued residency certificate, provided it includes official seal and issue date.

Submission Process via Bybit App

1. Log into the Bybit mobile application using your verified credentials.

2. Navigate to Profile → Identity Verification → Level 2 → Address Verification.

3. Select the document type from the dropdown menu before uploading.

4. Upload two clear images: one of the front and one of the back of the document, if applicable.

5. Confirm submission and wait for automated review — most approvals occur within 15 minutes.

Common Rejection Reasons

1. Blurry or cropped text preventing full visibility of name and address.

2. Mismatch between the name on the ID used in Level 1 and the name on the address document.

3. Document expiration exceeding 90 days from issuance date.

4. Use of screenshots, edited files, or digitally generated statements without official letterhead.

5. Submission of documents bearing redaction marks over critical fields like name or address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can I use a credit card statement as address proof?Bybit does not accept credit card statements because they rarely display full residential addresses and often omit official issuer branding.

Q2. What if my name on the utility bill differs slightly from my ID due to marriage or legal name change?You must submit an official name change document — such as a court order or updated national ID — alongside the address proof.

Q3. Is a notarized affidavit of residence acceptable?No. Bybit only accepts documents issued directly by recognized institutions or government bodies; self-declared affidavits are not valid.

Q4. Do I need to verify address again after changing my country of residence?Yes. Any update to your registered country triggers re-verification of both identity and address under local regulatory requirements.
