How we handle corrections
Everything on this site is put together and checked one article at a time, which means the odd mistake slips through, and on top of that Binance keeps changing its fees, limits, and document policies. If you spot a fact, a number, or a link that's wrong or out of date, write to us: [email protected]. We'll check it, and if it genuinely needs fixing, we fix it. The more significant corrections get logged below, with roughly when it happened and what actually changed — so you can tell which version of the content you're looking at.
We don't quietly edit things and pretend nothing happened. That said, let's be honest: typos, layout tweaks, and small link fixes don't each earn an entry, or this page would drown in noise. What you'll find here are the substantive corrections — the ones that could change a decision you make.

Softened the wording on review times and limits, which go stale fast
Early launch · June 2026
A few of our early articles stated review times and per-tier limits in fairly absolute terms (things like "usually clears in a few minutes" or a specific dollar cap). Those numbers move with your region, current policy, and your own account — so pinning them down in print does more harm than good. We reworked that language to be descriptive, with a note to go by whatever Binance's page shows at the time, and dropped the hard figures that date quickly.
Added a "check Binance's verification page" note across the by-country document sections
Early launch · June 2026
The by-country document sections read a little too much like an official "these documents work" list, and we didn't want readers taking them that way. We added a consistent note to that content: which documents are accepted is whatever Binance's verification page shows — confirm what's supported in your own region. What we put together is a sense of direction, not an official roster; whether something actually works for where you are still needs checking on Binance's own page.
Registration guide: the referral code step was described in the wrong place
9 September 2026
The “How to Register on Binance” guide treated the referral code as part of the sign-up form: it told readers to confirm the code “before the account is created,” to check referral status “before finishing,” and its FAQ answer said to confirm the code “before creating the account.” That does not match the actual flow. On 8 September 2026 we opened the accounts.binance.com sign-up page in a browser: the first screen has a single email/phone field, no referral field, and no “Referral” label anywhere. We then re-read the Binance Help Center articles “How to Register on the Binance Website?” (Binance shows updated on 2025-11-24) and “How to Register on the Binance App?” (Binance shows updated on 2025-11-23): the referral code appears only at the step after the account is created; a code brought in by a referral link is filled in automatically and shows a green tick and “Linked”; an invalid code can be edited and a missing one skipped; once linked it cannot be changed. The step-one note, the inline prompt, the step-two checklist, and the FAQ answer (including its structured-data copy) now all say check the referral code at the step after the account is created. The reminders that a linked code cannot be changed and that duplicate accounts are not the way to chase an offer are unchanged.
Three guides: statements that were not on Binance's verification page
12 September 2026
Three English guides attributed statements to Binance's help page “How to Complete Identity Verification for a Personal Account?”. The registration guide said your country of residence should be consistent with your ID, that verification can be attempted up to 10 times a day with a 24-hour wait after 10 denials, that the live Identification page shows statuses such as Verified Plus (citing this help page for it), that manual verification can take several days, and that verification is needed for withdrawals; it also placed the page's QR code at the face step. The face-verification guide cited the same 10-attempt and 24-hour rule (dated 17 August 2026), the residence requirement, that the ID image must show all four corners, the face-step QR code, and a manual verification after rare selfie/ID mismatches that can take several days. The review-time guide attributed to the same page an “Under Review” status, automatic checks run by third parties that slow at peak times, supplementary documents after rare selfie mismatches, and a daily attempt cap with a cooldown; it also opened with a line suggesting we had been through a review ourselves, which we had not.
On 12 September 2026 we re-read that page in English, including its App tab. Its own last-updated date is 5 June 2026 (UTC), earlier than our August check. It asks for residence, document issuing country, and document type as separate choices; it asks that the personal information entered is consistent with your ID documents; it offers the QR code at the document-upload step; it requires the Verified level for deposits and trades, with unverified existing accounts limited to withdrawals and a few similar actions; and it says submitted documents are usually reviewed within 48 hours, with some cases taking longer. It contains none of the other statements. We removed them from all three guides and rewrote those passages from the page's current wording; the review-time guide now gives the 48-hour figure instead of saying Binance publishes no review time. Official update dates in the registration guide are now given in UTC, because Binance displays them in the reader's local time.
KYC guide and 2FA guide: a date, the Verified Plus label, and 2FA "during sign-up"
12 September 2026
The Binance KYC guide's image credits gave the update date of “How to Complete Identity Verification for a Personal Account?” as 2026-06-04; the page's own timestamp is 5 June 2026 (UTC), which is what the guide's source list already said. The same guide said “Binance's public material and live account pages may use labels such as Verified and Verified Plus” without pointing to a page. On 12 September 2026 we checked: the identity verification page uses [Verified] and never mentions Verified Plus; that label appears in “How to Verify My Residential Address on Binance?” (updated 20 April 2026), whose steps start with [Get Verified Plus]. The guide now attributes each label to the page that uses it.
The 2FA and passkey guide opened by saying that halfway through signing up “you'll be asked to turn on two-factor authentication or a passkey,” and its FAQ said some sign-up steps won't let you continue until it's set. Binance's “How to Register on the Binance Website?” and “How to Register on the Binance App?” (both updated 24 November 2025, UTC, re-read 12 September 2026) do not list 2FA as a sign-up step; each carries a note that Binance highly recommends enabling at least one form of 2FA, and the app guide sends a new account on to identity verification after the final [Next]. The opening, the “why” section and its heading, the first setup step and the FAQ answers now say that. The first step also gains the app path for passkeys, and the path already in the source note was corrected; both follow “How to Create a Passkey for My Binance Account?” (updated 10 December 2025, UTC). The other setup steps and the backup advice are unchanged.
Verification levels and rejection guides: where "Verified Plus" comes from, and the "cooldown" wording
13 September 2026
The verification-levels guide said that in some regions the levels show up "as something like 'Verified' and 'Verified Plus'" without saying where those names come from. On 12 September 2026 we re-read Binance's English help pages: “How to Complete Identity Verification for a Personal Account?” calls the level new users need [Verified], and “How to Verify My Residential Address on Binance?” labels the address step [Get Verified Plus]. The guide now names both pages.
The rejected-verification guide said repeated re-submits could "drop you into a cooldown" and that "the cooldown rules change." The identity verification page publishes no retry count, no waiting time and no cooldown. Those lines now say the page may make you wait before you can try again, and that the number of tries and the wait are whatever the page shows at the time.
Removed invite-benefit claims we couldn't back up, and cut back where invite links appear
Early launch · June 2026
A July 2026 review found that the older claims about a fixed invite benefit and fee savings couldn't be matched to anything on Binance's current pages, so we removed them. Invite links now appear only on a few pages about signing up, with a note right beside them saying we earn a commission, we are not Binance, and what the regional, eligibility and risk limits are. The homepage, menu, footer, tools and general explainers either link to our own guides or carry no invite link at all.
Registration guide: a skipped referral code can still be added
25 September 2026
The registration guide told readers, in the step-one note, the “five mistakes” list and the FAQ, not to assume a skipped referral code could be added later. That clashed with Binance's referral FAQ, which this site already cites in the face-check guide: an account less than 30 days old, with no deposits or trades, no existing referral relationship and a few other account conditions met, can add a code on the referral-binding page. All three places now give those conditions; “a linked code can't be changed” and “don't open duplicate accounts” stay as they were.
Country-of-residence guide: the change goes through Edit Address, not support
25 September 2026
The country-of-residence guide said a residence change often can't be done yourself and is mostly handled through support or a dedicated request channel, in the body and in its FAQ. Binance's “How to Update My Residential Address on Binance?”, which the guide already cited and which we re-read on 25 September 2026, gives a self-service route: [Account] › [Identification] › [Edit Address], choose the new country, fill in the address and upload the document, with review of the proof of address taking up to 1–2 working days and “no need to contact Customer Support”. The guide now gives that route and adds the page's note that a change to the UK isn't possible in the short term; the Chinese version was corrected the same way.
Rejection and appeal guide: you request the video check, the team calls you
6 October 2026
The sources note in the rejected-verification guide described Binance's video check as one “started through live chat”, which could be read as support reaching out to you for a video call. Binance's “How to Complete Video Identity Verification (KYC) with Customer Support Live Chat”, which the guide already cited (marked published 20 December 2024; re-read on 6 October 2026), says you request it in live chat, the Binance team reviews the case and the request, and only if necessary calls you by video at a time that suits you; it also says you cannot call the team. The note now follows that order; the Chinese version was corrected the same way. An unsolicited video invite, or one asking you to share your screen or read out a code, is not this process.
