The most failure-prone part of KYC verification is the document photo capture. Mastering the correct photography method can greatly increase your first-attempt approval rate. First register a Binance account, then prepare your photos according to these requirements.
Basic Photo Requirements
- All four corners of the document must be fully visible, not cropped
- Photo must be clear with legible text and recognizable images
- No glare or shadows obstructing key information
- Clean background, preferably a solid-colored surface
- No Photoshop editing allowed
ID Card Photography Tips
Place the ID card flat on a light-colored surface and photograph from directly above. Pay attention to these points:
- Turn off the flash to avoid glare on the card surface
- Keep the phone parallel to the document, don't tilt
- Ensure all four corners are fully visible in the frame
- Take one photo each of the front and back
Passport Photography Tips
For passports, you only need to photograph the personal information page (the page with the photo). Lay the passport flat, press down any creases, and photograph from directly above. Ensure the machine-readable zone (the two lines of characters at the bottom) is clearly visible.
Face Recognition Tips
After photographing your documents, you'll need face recognition:
- Ensure even facial lighting without backlighting
- Remove glasses, hat, and mask
- Center your face within the on-screen frame
- Follow the prompts to perform actions (nod, turn head, etc.)
What to Do If It Fails
If the review fails, the system will indicate the reason. Common issues are blurry or glare-affected photos -- simply retake them in a better-lit environment. It's recommended to download the Binance APP and use your phone to capture and upload directly, which is more convenient than the desktop version.
