1. Open the Hotcoin App, tap your profile icon on the homepage, and go to the Unverified section.
2. Select your verification level based on your needs.
● Personal Verification: Requires personal info, ID/passport, and facial recognition. Suitable for most users.
● Advanced Verification: Requires proof of address. Recommended for high-volume traders.
3. Tap Get Verified at the bottom of the page, select your country and verification type, then tap Submit.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to take clear photos of your ID. Make sure the entire document is within the frame, with all information visible and free from glare or obstruction. (If using a passport, only the personal information page is required.)

If you encounter any issues during the Identity Verification (KYC) process, please contact Hotcoin customer support.
Common Issues with Identity Verification
● The ID shows the user is under 18 years old
● The ID photo is blurry
● The ID photo is obstructed or incomplete
● The ID has expired
● The ID type is invalid (only driver’s license, passport, national ID card, or permanent residence permit are accepted)
● The face is obstructed or unclear during the facial recognition process — avoid hats, glasses, filters, and ensure proper lighting
Q: How Long Does Identity Verification (KYC) Take?
A: The KYC process usually takes 3–5 minutes. In some cases, the review may take 1–3 business days, depending on security requirements, local compliance policies, certain product features, or network conditions.
Q: Is the KYC information I provide to Hotcoin secure? Will my personal data be leaked?
A: All KYC information you provide to Hotcoin is securely encrypted and protected under our strict privacy policies. We will never share or disclose your personal data to unauthorized third parties.
Q: Why do I receive an error message stating, “This ID number has already been verified multiple times in Identity Verification” after uploading my personal information?
A: Each person can only complete KYC verification for one Hotcoin account. If your ID has already been used to verify another account, you won’t be able to verify a new one. Please continue using your previously verified account.
If that account has been deleted, please contact our support team for assistance.
