How to complete KYC verification with KuCoin in the US (2025)

If you plan to complete KYC verification in the US, start with the basics of KuCoin. This 2025 guide explains the exact steps, the documents you may be asked for, and the common mistakes that delay the process.

If the process stalls, the support center for KuCoin is the first place to look. Search the exact error message, not a vague description. For the US users, the help articles are localized in most supported languages.

Taxes differ by jurisdiction. In the US, keep a record of every transaction you make while you complete KYC verification: date, amount, fee, and counterparty. Most local tax offices accept a simple spreadsheet.

Security comes before convenience. Enable two-factor authentication, review active sessions, and make sure the email and phone attached to the account are ones you control in the US.

Fees are the part most people skip. KuCoin publishes a fee schedule that changes by market, order type, and volume. Before you complete KYC verification, read the current schedule so the cost is predictable, not a surprise.

This page is part of a living guide. The steps reflect the 2025 interface of KuCoin; when the platform ships a redesign, the checklist is updated and the change date is noted.
