2. Select your real country/region of residence
3. Choose Email or Phone registration (some regions offer Google, Apple, Telegram)
4. Confirm the Referral Code / Referral ID is BYOFFICIAL
5. Click "Sign Up" / "Register"

9. After account creation, proceed to Identity Verification (KYC)

Final Pre-Registration Checklist:

Official Bybit URL → Real residence region → Your own Email/Phone → Referral Code BYOFFICIAL → Then complete account creation.

3. What Are the BYOFFICIAL Fee Benefits?

Using the BYOFFICIAL referral link gives you a 33% trading fee discount by default. When combined with MNT fee deduction:

• Spot: Up to 50% trading fee discount
• Futures: Up to 40% trading fee discount

New users should NOT jump into Futures just for the fee discount. It's usually better to first get familiar with deposits, spot trading, asset transfers, and account security before deciding whether to use derivatives.

4. Is KYC Mandatory on Bybit?

Yes. Bybit currently requires at least Standard-level Personal Identity Verification for all products and services. Some regions, products, or services may require a higher KYC level.

Different regions may have additional verification requirements. Always refer to your own Bybit Identity Verification page.

5. How to Complete Bybit KYC?

App: Top-left profile → Settings → Identity Verification → Verify Now

Web: Profile → Account → Identity Verification → Verify Now

Standard KYC typically requires:

• Your real full name
• Date of birth
• Real country/region of residence
• Valid government-issued ID
• Clear, complete ID photos (no glare, no cut edges)
• Facial recognition as prompted

6. Security Setup After KYC

After KYC, don't rush to deposit large amounts. Set up security first:

• Google Authenticator / Authenticator app
• Email verification
• Phone verification
• Passkey (if supported)
• Login device management
• Withdrawal whitelist / withdrawal password
• Unique password (different from other websites)

7. First Deposit Options for Bybit New Users

• Crypto Deposit: Transfer from other exchanges or self-custody wallets on-chain
• Fiat Deposit: Use supported fiat channels in your region
• One-Click Buy: Buy crypto directly via supported payment methods
• P2P: Buy USDT through Bybit P2P market

If you already hold USDT on Binance/OKX/Bitget → on-chain deposit is the most direct. If you have no crypto at all → check P2P or Fiat Buy options inside your account.
