To use your individual account, you need to complete identity verification to meet Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. We require this to keep your account and assets secure.

The verification process is to ensure the exchange is safe and prevent fraud and other illegal activities. You can trade and deposit / withdrawal after completing your identity verification.

Getting started on the web

Log in to your account at okx.com and go to the verification page. You can find it under the profile icon > Verification. On this page, find Individual account and select Continue.
