Gate.io Account Registration Process

It is very simple to open an account on Gate.io. You only need to follow a few steps to complete the registration. The specific registration process on Gate.io is as follows:

Preparation

Before opening an account at Gate.io, you need to prepare an email address (Gmail or Hotmail is recommended) and a mobile phone (which can normally receive verification codes). Gate.io has already started operations in many countries around the world, but users in some countries and regions are still unable to register and use it.

There is another situation, that is, even if your country or region is not restricted, you may encounter some special circumstances and cannot register directly. For example, I am from Taiwan, and I went to a country or region where Gate.io is restricted for work or travel, and I could not access the Gate.io official website or open the App normally. This is because the relevant domain names of Gate.io are blocked locally, so I need to use VPN to help change the IP location in order to connect to the website, including registering the Gate.io exchange locally.

The following is an introduction to the registration process on the web version and the app. First, the gateio web version registration process is introduced.

Step 1. Enter the identity authentication page, click the "person portrait in the upper left corner", enter the "Identity Authentication" page, and click "Go to Authentication".

The so-called KYC, which refers to Know Your Customer, is a necessary process for registering and opening an account in traditional finance. When you go to a bank to open an account, the counter will check your ID card and take a photo of your ID card before you can complete the account opening. The same process applies to registering and opening an account on an exchange. The difference is that on a cryptocurrency exchange, you can complete the entire process at home with your mobile phone, without having to go to a store, which is quite convenient.

Step 2: Prepare your ID card/passport/driver's license and fill in your basic personal information. Basic information Nationality and country of residence Fill in "your nationality", enter your real name, and fill in your ID number.

Step 3. Upload or take a photo of the front and back of your ID card.

Step 4: Use your phone to perform facial recognition. The facial recognition part mainly requires you to take a photo of your facial features, which will be processed by AI behind the scenes. Just follow the system's instructions.

Step 5. After submission, we have completed the KYC identity authentication. The next step is to wait for the official review and verification. It only takes about 2 to 5 minutes. If there is any problem with the information, you can re-upload it.

Step 6: Fill in your address information. Just enter the address on your ID card that you uploaded.

Gate.io sets up 2FA two-factor authentication (to protect account security)

After completing the account registration, the last step is to set up "2FA two-step verification". The purpose of doing this is to protect the security of your account and assets, so please be sure to complete it. It is recommended to bind mobile phone authentication and Google Authenticator at the same time to strengthen account protection.

Step 1: Bind Google Authenticator

Click on the "person portrait in the upper left corner" to enter the "Security Center Page", then click on "Google Bind". This step will be carried out with Google's two-factor authentication 2FA. Just follow the prompts. (If your phone does not have Google Authenticator, you must download it first)

Step 2: Copy the key. Gate.io will give you a key. After copying the key, open Google Authenticator, select "Enter Set Key" and paste the key you just copied. Enter the Gate.io key into Google Authenticator and click "Add".

Step 3. After adding successfully, return to the Gate.io App and click "Send" to receive the email verification code and paste it into the input box. Then enter the 6-digit password on the Google Authenticator into the "Google Verification Code" input box. This completes the 2FA setting.
