How to Register a US Apple ID: A Beginner's Guide for Downloading Binance

FoxPress Editorial · 2026-04-21 · 13 min read

Registering a US Apple ID is the standard procedure for iPhone users to access Binance. First, complete your account registration on the Binance Official Website via a computer, then switch your Apple ID to download the Binance Official App. The complete region-switching process is detailed on the Binance App Download page. Below is a detailed breakdown of the US region registration process.

Preparation Checklist

Item	Requirement
Email	A fresh email address (Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud work best)
Phone Number	Your local mobile number is sufficient
US Address	Any valid US street address (can be found online)
Birth Year	1990 is a safe choice (ensure you are of legal age)
Credit Card	Not required

No VPN is needed; the entire process can be completed using your standard local network.

Step 1: Choose an Email Address

Create a dedicated email address specifically for your Apple ID.

Recommended Email Providers:

Gmail: The most stable option.
Outlook: A solid alternative.
iCloud: Select "Free iCloud Email" when registering directly on an iPhone.

Avoid Using:

Localized providers (e.g., QQ, 163, or Sina) as Apple may occasionally fail to recognize them.
Obscure or temporary email services.

Step 2: Web-Based Registration

Open Safari and navigate to appleid.apple.com, then click "Create Your Apple ID."

Key Fields to Complete

Field	What to Enter
Country/Region	United States
First Name	Use Pinyin or English
Last Name	Use Pinyin or English
Date of Birth	e.g., 1990-01-01
Email	Your new email address
Password	Use a complex password (upper/lower case + numbers)
Security Questions	Choose three questions and remember your answers clearly
Phone Number	Your local number with the appropriate country prefix (e.g., +86)

Click "Continue" once finished.

Email Verification

You will receive a 6-digit verification code via email. Enter it on the website.

Phone Verification

A 6-digit SMS verification code will be sent to your mobile phone. Enter it on the website.

After completing both verifications, your account is successfully registered. At this stage, no payment method has been set; this will be handled on your iPhone.

Step 3: Log in on Your iPhone

Go back to your iPhone:

Open Settings → Tap Your Name (at the top).
Scroll to the bottom and select Sign Out. (Note: You only need to sign out of "Media & Purchases"; see the preferred method below.)
Sign back in with your new US account.

The Preferred Method (Keeping iCloud Intact)

You don't have to sign out of your entire Apple ID. Instead, switch only the sub-account for "Media & Purchases":

Settings → Your Name → Media & Purchases → Sign Out.
Then, sign in to "Media & Purchases" with your new US account.
Your iCloud remains logged in to your original account.

This ensures your photos, notes, and contacts remain untouched.

Step 4: Complete Payment Information

The first time you log in with your new account on an iPhone, the App Store will prompt you to "Complete Account Setup":

Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
For the payment method, select None.
Enter a US street address as requested for the billing address.
Ensure the name and phone number match your registration details.

How to Fill in a US Address

Simply select a real US street address. Common tax-free states include:

Oregon (No sales tax)
Delaware (No sales tax)
Montana

You can use Google Maps to find a real address (e.g., a Walmart or McDonald's address). For the phone number, you can use a US virtual number or simply use +1 followed by a reasonable sequence of digits.

What if the "None" Option is Missing?

If the "None" option doesn't appear, try this fix:

Log into the App Store immediately after registration. Do not add funds first.
Search for any free app and try to download it.
The system will prompt you to "Complete Account Setup," and the None option should now appear.
Select None to finish.

Alternatively, you can fill in temporary card details on your iPhone and then delete the payment method later at appleid.apple.com.

Step 5: Search and Download Binance

Once you have switched accounts and completed the payment setup:

Open the App Store.
Tap Search at the bottom.
Type "Binance."
The first result should be the official Binance app.
Tap Get and confirm with Face ID or your password.
Wait for the download to finish.

Common Errors

Error	Cause	Solution
"Could Not Verify Apple ID"	Network issue	Switch networks and try again.
"Apple ID is Locked"	Security trigger	Wait 24 hours or reset your password.
"This ID Has Not Been Used in iTunes"	First-time login	Complete the account setup as prompted.
"Incorrect Verification Code"	Time synchronization	Resend the code.

Post-Registration Maintenance

Log in to appleid.apple.com every few months to keep the account active.
Avoid switching back to your original region too frequently.
Do not change your email password unless necessary.
Never share your password, even with trusted friends.

Dual-Account Management Tip

Account	Use Case
Original Local Account	iCloud + Main Apps
New US Account	Downloading Binance + International Apps

You can independently switch between "iCloud" and "Media & Purchases" under Settings → Your Name.

FAQ

Q: How long after registration can I download Binance?
A: Usually immediately. A few accounts might require a few hours before the App Store is fully accessible.

Q: Do I need a VPN for a US account?
A: No. The registration and usage can be completed entirely on your standard local network.

Q: Will Apple reclaim my account?
A: As long as you log in periodically and avoid suspicious behavior (like excessive region switching), your account is unlikely to be reclaimed.

Q: Does the US address have to be real?
A: It is recommended to use a real address (one that appears on Google Maps), but it does not need to be your personal address.
