1. Can I make deposits and withdrawals without verifying my account?

No. To make deposits and withdrawals, you must successfully verify your account.

2. I have multiple nationalities. Which nationality should I use to pass identity verification?

As a special platform for individuals holding identity documents issued by the official authorities of the Republic of Turkiye, we advise you to utilize your new Turkish identity card or new driver's license if you are a citizen of the Republic of Turkiye. For citizens of other countries, we recommend using your resident permit document.

Supported documents for identity verification are: new identity document, new driver's license for Turkish citizens and residence permit for other citizens. You can verify your identity at OKX TR using these documents.

We're required to ask for your residential address in order to verify your identity for our regulatory compliance program. Providing a residential address will also help keep your account secure.

Due to local laws and regulations, you must be 18 or older to access our services.

We need your selfie to compare it with your ID and make sure it's really you. We'll store it securely and never share with third parties.

A residential document (with barcode) obtained from e-Government, an invoice related to a service requiring a subscription (such as electricity, water, natural gas, telephone) issued in the user's name and within the three months of the transaction date, or a document issued by any public institution.

8. Can I verify my address using a letter or package that was sent to me?
