Full account verification: completing all verification steps

Identity Verification on the Bybit platform is divided into three consecutive levels, each expanding your capabilities and withdrawal limits. Understanding the differences between these levels will help you choose the necessary verification option. In this article, we will review the detailed process for completing Standard, Extended, and Pro levels, as well as specific requirements for certain regions.

Three Verification Levels and Their Features

Verification consists of three main stages. At the Standard level, you need to complete identity verification and proof of identity (POI). This level provides basic access to trading functions. At the Extended level, address verification (POA) is additionally required, granting higher transaction limits. At the Pro level, an advanced comprehensive check (EDD) is performed, offering maximum capabilities and the highest withdrawal limits.

It is important to note that for some geographic regions, additional verification conditions may apply, affecting the document sequence or requirements. Most users complete standard verification without issues; however, the platform reserves the right to request additional materials depending on your location and activity profile.

Getting Started: How to Initiate the Verification Process

Step 1 — go to your profile by clicking the corresponding icon on the right side of the navigation panel, then select the “Account” section.

Step 2 — find the “Account Information” section, select the “Identity Verification” option, and click the “Start Now” button to access the verification page.

Step 3 — select your current country of residence and region. This information is critical, as it determines which documents and additional checks are required. If you wish to change this data after completing verification, re-verification may be necessary.

Identity Confirmation: Basic Identity Verification

This stage is the foundation of verification. Step 1 — find the “Identity Confirmation” section and click “Verify Now.”

Step 2 — specify the country or region where your ID was issued, and select the document type. Acceptable documents include passports, identity cards, driver’s licenses, and other official IDs, depending on your region’s requirements.

Step 3 — upload photos of the document. When taking photos, ensure that:

• Your full name and date of birth are clearly visible
• The image quality and contrast are sufficient
• All necessary information is visible
• No modifications have been made to the document

All common file formats (JPEG, PNG, etc.) are accepted.

Step 4 — complete biometric face scanning. This can be done via your computer’s webcam or, alternatively, by scanning a QR code with your smartphone. If the face recognition screen does not load after several attempts, it may indicate that your document does not meet quality requirements or that you have submitted too many requests in a short period. In this case, wait 30 minutes and try again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Face Verification: Automatic Data Check

After submitting identity confirmation, the system generally performs an automatic assessment. However, some users may need to fill out a personal assessment form with additional information. Each user is personally responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the provided data.

You can track the verification progress on the status panel (on the left side of the screen). Upon successful completion of this level, you will gain access to basic trading functions and be able to deposit funds. Users who do not pass this assessment stage cannot proceed to standard verification and will not have access to functions requiring successful verification.

Additional information can be found in the “FAQ — KYC Individual Verification” section.

Address Verification: Extended Level

This stage is available only after completing the Standard verification level. The platform accepts a limited list of documents for address verification:

• Utility bills (electricity, gas, water, internet)
• Bank statements and reports
• Official residence registration documents issued by government authorities

Critical: the document must be dated no earlier than three months before the submission date. Documents older than three months will be automatically rejected.

You can review previously submitted information on the verification page by clicking the eye icon. Note that viewing requires entering a code from Google Authenticator. If discrepancies or errors are found in the submitted data, contact customer support.

Extended Due Diligence (EDD): Highest Verification Level

To obtain Pro verification, you must pass extended due diligence (EDD). Click the “Verify” button and provide all necessary details to complete this process.

EDD requires filling out a detailed questionnaire and submitting documents that confirm your income sources and financial activity. In rare cases, during withdrawals or fiat transactions, even after successful EDD completion, the platform may request additional documents to clarify information.

Remember, completing all verification levels grants you maximum transaction limits and full access to all platform features. For additional information regarding corporate entities and business verification, refer to the “FAQ — KYC Verification for Legal Entities” section.
