Where can I get my account verified?
You can access the Identity Verification from [User Center] - [Identification] or access it directly from here.

To increase your limit, please complete the respective Identity Verification level.
*Please note that this guide is for specific EEA countries' users only. For other countries, please refer to How to Complete Identity Verification.
Identity Verification or Know Your Customer (KYC) standards are designed to protect your account against fraud, corruption, money laundering, and terrorist financing.
All new users are required to complete [Verified] to access Binance products and service offerings, including cryptocurrency deposits, trades, and withdrawals.
Existing users who haven’t completed identity verification will have their account permissions temporarily changed to “Withdraw Only,” with services limited to fund withdrawal, order cancelation, position close, and redemption.
Based on your region or selected payment channels, you may need to enhance your identity verification level to improve your account security. For more details, please refer to Why Do I Need to Complete Identity Verification.
