### How to Open a Binance Account in 2025 (Step-by-Step Guide)
Want to start trading crypto on Binance, the world’s largest exchange? Here’s the fastest and safest way to create your account in under 10 minutes:
1. **Visit the Official Site**
Go to https://www.binance.com (always check the URL to avoid phishing sites).
2. **Click “Register”**
You’ll see options: Email or Phone Number. Email is most popular.
3. **Enter Your Details**
Input your email/phone, create a strong password (mix uppercase, numbers, symbols), and enter referral ID if you have one (optional, but saves fees!).
4. **Verify Your Email/Phone**
Check your inbox/SMS for the 6-digit code and enter it.
5. **Enable 2FA Immediately**
Go to Security → Enable Google Authenticator or SMS 2FA. This is non-negotiable for safety.
6. **Complete KYC (Identity Verification)**
For full access (higher limits & fiat deposits):
- Upload government ID (passport, driver’s license, or ID card)
- Take a selfie or complete facial verification
Level 2 KYC usually approves in minutes to hours.
7. **Deposit & Start Trading**
Once verified, deposit crypto or buy with card/P2P, Apple Pay, or bank transfer.
Pro tip: Use the official Binance app for faster verification and extra security features.
Welcome to Binance — trade responsibly!
