2. I have multiple nationalities. Which nationality should I use to pass identity verification?
For the best experience, try using the nationality that is most relevant to your identity.
3. Which countries or regions are unable to access OKX (Restricted regions / Blocked areas)?
When you visit the OKX app or website, if a restriction notice appears, it means OKX services are currently unavailable in your country. Please refer to the on-screen message for details.
4. Do restricted countries/regions refer to my nationality or my country of residence?
Restricted countries/regions refer to your country of residence (COR), not your nationality. For example:
A user with Canadian nationality who lives in China can complete account verification normally — simply select Canada as your nationality and China as your country of residence.
A user with Chinese nationality who lives in Singapore can verify using a Singapore ID document — select China as your nationality and Singapore as your country of residence.
5. Why am I unable to select a voter's card as a form of ID?
This type of ID may not be supported for identity verification in your country. If you believe it should be supported in your country, please contact customer support.
6. What are acceptable forms of government-issued ID?
A government-issued ID is a type of identification that is officially issued by the government and legally accepted as identity. This may may vary depending on your country or region, so please ensure you’re submitting a valid form of ID that meets local requirements.
7. Why do you need my residential address?
We're required to ask for your residential address in order to verify your identity for our regulatory compliance program. Providing a residential address will also help keep your account secure.
8. I'm under the age of 18. Why can't I sign up?
Due to local laws and regulations, you must be 18 or older to access our services.
9. Why do I need to submit a selfie for identity verification?
We need your selfie to compare it with your ID and make sure it's really you. We'll store it securely and never share with third parties.
10. Which types of documents can I use to verify my residential address for account identity verification?
The following types of documents can be used to verify your address for identity verification:
Driver's license (if the address is visible and matches the address provided)
Government-issued IDs with your current address
Utility bills (water, electricity, and gas), bank statements, and property management invoices that were issued within the last 3 months and clearly show your current address and legal name
11. Can I verify my address using a letter or package that was sent to me?
No. To verify your address, you must use a supported document as listed in the answer above.
