How to Create a Binance Account (Step-by-Step)

Opening a Binance account takes less than ten minutes. The one step most beginners skip is entering an invite code, and skipping it means paying full price on every single trade. This guide walks you through the entire registration flow and shows you exactly where to add the referral code K6O8CPLG so your 20% trading-fee discount is locked in from your very first order.

Before you start

Have the following ready so you can finish registration and verification in one sitting:

• A valid email address or mobile phone number.
• A government-issued ID (passport, national ID, or driver's licence) for identity verification.
• A few minutes of good lighting for the selfie verification step.
• The invite code K6O8CPLG.

Step 1 — Open the registration page

Go to binance.com and select 'Register', or use our pre-filled link below so the referral ID is applied automatically and you don't have to type it manually.

Step 2 — Enter your details and the code

Choose email or phone registration and set a strong password. On the same screen you will see a field labelled 'Referral ID (optional)'. This is the most important field for saving money. Enter K6O8CPLG here. If the field is collapsed, click 'Enter Referral ID' to expand it.

Step 3 — Verify your email or phone

Binance sends a six-digit verification code to confirm your contact details. Enter it to activate the account. You now have a Binance account, but you will need to verify your identity before you can deposit and trade at full limits.

Step 4 — Complete identity verification (KYC)

Go to the verification centre and upload your ID document, then complete the quick facial verification. Approval is usually automatic and takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. KYC is a legal requirement and also unlocks higher deposit and withdrawal limits.

Step 5 — Deposit funds and confirm your discount

Once verified you can deposit via bank transfer, card, or crypto. Before placing your first trade, open Account → Referral to confirm your fee rate reflects the 20% discount. If it does, everything worked and you are set for life on that rate.

1. 1Register with email or phone.
2. 2Enter code K6O8CPLG in the Referral ID field.
3. 3Verify your contact details.
4. 4Complete KYC identity verification.
5. 5Deposit and start trading with your discount active.
