How do I complete identity verification level 1?

 Common FAQ    |      2022-01-27

OKX asks you to verify your identity to perform certain tasks on the exchange. You might have seen this process of verification referred to as KYC (Know Your Customer), and we do this to keep the exchange safe from fraud and other illicit activities.

 

What functions entitled for KYC 0?

If you have not completed any verification, you still can perform below transactions:
  • Deposit
  • Withdrawal (24h limit 10 BTC)
  • Spot trading
  • Futures trading
Without verification, you will not be able to trade P2P. For your own benefit, it's highly recommended to complete KYC to improve the security level of your account, and to enjoy more transaction eligibility.
     
Level 1 asks you to verify your personal information so that we can increase your daily withdrawal limit to the equivalent of 200 BTC.
