Bybit KYC Levels 2026: No-KYC Limits, Level 1 vs 2 & Failed Fixes

Barely. According to Bybit's own table, an unverified account cannot deposit crypto or fiat, trade spot or derivatives, use P2P, Convert or Earn, or buy crypto with a card. The one thing it can do is withdraw — up to 20,000 USDT a day and 100,000 USDT a month — which exists so people who signed up before the rules tightened can still take their coins out.

So for anyone opening an account today, Standard verification is not optional: it is the step that makes the account usable.

Standard (Level 1) needs a government ID and a face scan. It unlocks deposits, spot and margin trading, derivatives, copy trading, P2P, card and third-party purchases, Convert, Launchpad and Earn, with crypto withdrawals up to 1 million USDT a day and no monthly cap. That covers almost everyone.

Advanced (Level 2) adds a proof of address and lifts the daily limit to 2 million USDT. It is required for the Bybit Card and may be requested for large card purchases. Business verification is a separate track with a 4 million USDT daily limit.

Identity: passport, national identity card, residence permit or driving licence. Student, work and travel visas are not accepted, and a passport must include your signature. Your full name, date of birth and expiry date must be readable.

Address (Advanced only): a utility bill, official bank statement, government-issued residence proof, internet or TV bill, or tax document — in your name, showing your full address, dated within the last three months. Mobile phone bills, tenancy agreements, insurance papers and medical bills are not accepted.

Bybit emails the rejection reason, and you can also see it on the Identity Verification page. The usual causes: a blurred, cropped or partly covered photo; a screenshot, photocopy or black-and-white image instead of the original; a profile name or birth date that does not match the document; or an address proof that is older than three months, in another person's name, or from a restricted country.

The fix is almost always a better photo of the original: colour, all four corners in frame, no glare, details readable. Make sure your Bybit profile name matches the document exactly, then resubmit from the same page.
