Why verification matters

Verification on Bitfinex (and other major exchanges) unlocks higher deposit and withdrawal limits, fiat on‑ramps, advanced trading features, and compliance with international regulations. It also protects your account: verified accounts allow Bitfinex to confirm you are who you say you are and reduce fraud risks for everyone on the platform.

Trying to buy a “verified” account from someone else is risky. It’s usually against terms of service, can expose you to identity theft, and often results in permanent account suspension. Instead, follow Bitfinex’s legitimate verification process below.

Quick overview: the steps

1. Create an account (email & password)
2. Enable 2‑factor authentication (2FA)
3. Complete Identity Verification (KYC)
4. Submit required documents and proof of address
5. Wait for approval and resolve any follow‑ups
6. Set up security and withdrawal restrictions

Step 1 — Create your Bitfinex account

1. Go to Bitfinex.com and click Sign Up.
2. Choose a strong, unique password (use a password manager).
3. Confirm your email by clicking the verification link the exchange sends.
4. Do not share your password or verification email links with anyone.

Step 2 — Secure your account (do this immediately)

Before submitting documents, secure the account:

• Enable 2‑Factor Authentication (2FA) — use an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Authy), not SMS.
• Create a strong, unique password and store it in a password manager.
• Add IP allowlisting and withdrawal safelists if you plan to store significant funds.
• Enable account notifications for logins and withdrawals.

Step 3 — Begin Identity Verification (KYC)

Bitfinex typically asks for two levels of verification: Basic and Full (names and exact levels can change). For fiat and high limits you’ll need Full verification. Expect to provide:

• Full legal name, date of birth, nationality
• Residential address
• Government‑issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license, national ID)
• Selfie / live photo for liveness verification
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or government letter dated within the last 3 months)

Step 4 — Document tips & how to submit

To avoid delays:

• Ensure your ID is valid (not expired) and the whole document is visible.
• Use high‑resolution photos or scanned PDFs. No glare, cropped edges, or blurred text.
• Proof of address should show your full name, address, and issue date. Mobile carrier bills may be rejected.
• If you upload a selfie, follow the instructions exactly (face centered, no sunglasses/hats).
• Files should meet size/type requirements — typically JPG, PNG, or PDF.

Step 5 — Common verification traps & how to avoid them

• Mismatch of names: If your ID and proof of address use different name formats (e.g., middle name missing), include a supporting document showing the alternate form, or correct documents before applying.
• PO Box addresses: Many exchanges reject PO boxes — use a residential or utility address.
• Old documents: Use recent proof of address (usually within 3 months).
• Low‑quality images: Re‑take photos in good light with a plain background.

If Bitfinex requests additional information, respond promptly and provide clear, high‑quality scans to expedite approval.

Step 6 — After approval: safety and operational tips

• Set withdrawal limits and safelists — Add trusted wallet addresses to your withdrawal whitelist.
• Use hardware wallets for long‑term crypto storage; keep only trading funds on the exchange.
• Enable email and mobile alerts so you’re notified of suspicious activity.
• Regularly audit your account: check API keys, devices, and login history.
• Beware phishing: Bitfinex will never ask for your password via email. Always verify the site URL and use bookmarks.

Fees, limits, and fiat options

Once verified, you’ll be able to deposit and withdraw fiat (depending on your country). Fees and bank transfer options (SWIFT, SEPA, etc.) vary by region. Check Bitfinex’s official fee schedule and supported payment methods within your account dashboard.

Legal & compliance considerations

Verification is required by regulation in many jurisdictions to prevent money laundering and illicit finance. By completing KYC, you’re complying with these rules and protecting yourself. Attempting to bypass KYC or buying a verified account can lead to account closure, frozen funds, and legal consequences.

Troubleshooting & support

• If verification is delayed, double‑check document quality and whether the proof of address meets requirements.
• Use Bitfinex’s official support channels (support portal or in‑app support) — don’t share personal documents on public forums.
• Keep all correspondence in case you need to escalate.
