Binance Charity needs to be certified to receive it. So, how to authenticate Binance POA?

As a pioneering force, Binance Charity leverages the inherent advantages of blockchain technology to innovate the landscape of global philanthropy. As the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, its mission goes beyond mere fundraising; it aims to create a more efficient, accountable and influential charity ecosystem. However, to receive Binance charity funds, you need to verify Binance POA. So, what is Binance POA? How to authenticate Binance POA?

Below, the editor of this website will introduce you in detail the certification tutorial of Binance POA!

What is Binance POA?

The proof of address is part of the Binance authentication process. After registering an account at Binance, you will be asked to upload files to verify your identity and comply with regulations in your region/country: Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA).

What is proof of address?

To verify your account, we need to provide you with one or two documents: proof of identity (POI) and proof of address (POA). We can verify your identity only if you provide the required documents. A Proof of Address is a document used to verify your address. During the account verification process, you need to enter your full name and residence address and upload a document proof that you live here.

The files you upload must meet certain criteria before they are eligible to be proof of your address. The document must be issued in your name and matches the name of the Binance account owner (if you are verifying a company account, it must match the name of the party involved).

Unless otherwise stated, the personal account verification is valid for 3 months and the company account verification is valid for 6 months. The address proof must contain the following information:

• Your name
• Your home address
• issue date
• Certification issuing agency
• Reference information from the issuing agency (e.g., logo, contact information or website)

Which files can be counted as proof of address?

You need to upload a copy of the file showing your full name, which clearly states: your residence address, issue date and issuer name.

Binance POA Certification – Register

If you have never been exposed to cryptocurrencies at all, don't worry, think of Binance as a "digital bank". Below I will teach you how to register step by step, as simple as applying for an online banking.

Prepare in advance (just like what you need to bring when opening an account in a bank):

• Your ID card
• A mobile phone that can receive text messages
• A commonly used email mailbox
• Remember you must be over 18 to register

【Step 1】Start Register an Account

• Click the "Register" button
• Select "Register with email or mobile phone number"
• It is recommended to select "email" (it is more convenient to retrieve the password later)

• Click "Next" to verify the mailbox

[Step 2] Collect verification code

• Binance will send a letter to your email
• Open email to receive messages (if you don't see it, check for spam)
• The letter title is "[Binance] Verify Email"
• Open the letter and you will see a 6-digit verification code
• Go back to the Binance App and enter these 6 numbers
• Click "Submit"

[Step 3] Set password and recommender

• Set a set of passwords with more than 8 digits
• Passwords should contain uppercase, lowercase letters and numbers
• For example: Mypassword123 (please remember it yourself)
• Enter your password again to confirm

  • Align the frame to fill the screen with your ID card
  • Click the photo button
• Take a photo of the back of your ID card again, the same as above

【Skills for shooting files】

  • Your name
  • Full address
  • Billing date
  • Bank or company name
• Check if there is any blur after the photo
• If you are clear, click "Confirm Upload"

Personal experience: These sensitive information about card numbers can be covered with paper, but the name, address and date must be clear.

• Usually, the review will be completed in 1-2 days
• You will receive an email notification after passing the review
• If rejected, you will tell you the reason and upload it again as corrected

Binance POA Certification FAQ

I don’t understand computers at all, can I ask someone to help?

You can ask your family to help, but never give your account password to strangers. If someone in Facebook or LINE group says he wants to "apply for you", 99% is a scam. Remember, use your own phone and email for all operations.

Why is my proof of address rejected?

Three most common reasons:

• Bills are too old (over 3 months)
• The photo is too blurry or reflective
• The address is different from what you fill in (not even a word is different)

Solution: Reapply for the latest bill, retake the photo in a good place, and carefully check whether the address is wrong.

I am a renter, what should I do if the landlord’s name is from the water and electricity industry?

This is the problem that most people have encountered. Solution:

• Credit card billing (most recommended)
• Use bank statements
• Bill with your mobile phone (the one that needs to include the address)
• If you really don't have one, you can try it with a lease

How should the money received be turned into cash?

This time, Binance flood subsidy is issued by BNB (a digital currency), and it takes several steps to change it. But it is quite complicated for novices. It is recommended to keep it first and then learn slowly after having time. Or ask friends around you who know and ask them to teach you in person.

Could it be a scam?

This Binance Charity event is real, but beware of fake scams. remember:

• Binance won't call you to operate ATMs
• You won't need to send money first before you can get the subsidy
• I won't send you private messages on LINE
• All operations are completed in Binance App
