## Who can open a Binance account in Syria?

On its Syria launch page, Binance says access is **no longer restricted by location alone**: Syrian nationals residing in Syria can now register and verify their accounts on Binance, subject to its usual verification and compliance checks.

Three practical points:

- **Choose your real country of residence.** The first verification step asks for your **Residence**, then the document's issuing country and type. If you live in Syria, choose Syria. If you're a Syrian living in another country, choose the country you actually live in.
- **One account per person.** Use your own documents and your own face check, never someone else's.
- **You need a valid government ID:** a passport, driver's license or national ID card. Reviews are usually done within 48 hours.

> 💡 **Had an account that was blocked before 2025?** Binance says previously blocked accounts of Syrian users are under review for possible reactivation, and that you can contact customer support about yours. Don't open a new account in the meantime.

## How to get the Binance app in Syria

**First: create your account in your browser.** Open the sign-up page from the green button and sign up there, on your phone or computer. The steps are here: [How to create a Binance account](https://exchangesteps.com/how-to-create-binance-account). Then get the app as shown below and log in with the same account.

**[Open the Binance sign-up page →]**

**Then: download the app to use your account.**

Binance says Google Play and the App Store **aren't supported in Syria yet**. You have two options:

1. **Download from the official site:** go to **binance.com**, open the **Download** page and pick **Android** or **iOS**.
2. **Use the website:** everything in the guides on this site also works from your browser at binance.com.

> ⚠️ **Only download from binance.com itself.** Don't install an APK file someone sends you on Telegram or WhatsApp, and don't trust links in groups. Fake Binance apps exist to steal accounts. Before signing up, check that the address in your browser is exactly binance.com.

Once the app is installed, log in with the account you created. You don't need to sign up again inside the app.

## What works on Binance for Syrian users

According to Binance's Syria page, Syrian users can access:

| Product | What it's for | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| **P2P** | Buying and selling USDT for Syrian pounds with other users | [Buy USDT in Syria](https://exchangesteps.com/buy-usdt-in-syria) · [Withdraw USDT in Syria](https://exchangesteps.com/withdraw-usdt-in-syria) |
| **Spot** | Trading one coin for another | [Binance spot trading](https://exchangesteps.com/binance-spot-trading) |
| **Futures and Margin** | Leveraged trading (high risk, not for beginners) | |
| **Staking** | Earning on coins you hold | |
| **Binance Pay** | Sending crypto to other Binance users | |

For buying and selling with Syrian pounds (Sham Cash, bank transfer), the step-by-step is on our Syria pages: [Buy USDT in Syria](https://exchangesteps.com/buy-usdt-in-syria) and [Withdraw USDT in Syria](https://exchangesteps.com/withdraw-usdt-in-syria).

## Some individual features may still exclude Syria

Binance opening to Syria doesn't mean every single new feature includes it. Announcements for new trading pairs and promotions often end with a list of regions that can't take part, and some still name Syria. For example, the June 2026 announcement of the USDT/AED pair lists Syria among the regions that can't trade it.

So when you read about a new Binance pair, campaign or reward, scroll to the end of the announcement and check the list of excluded regions before you plan around it.

## Help and support

Binance's Syria page promises Arabic-language content and dedicated support. For any account problem, use the official support only:

1. Log in and tap **[Support]** on the app's home screen, or the support icon at the bottom right of the website.
2. You can choose the chat language from the language icon before you start. If your language isn't available, write in English.
3. If the bot doesn't solve it, tap **[Unresolved]**, then **[Yes, transfer to Customer Service]**.

No one from Binance will contact you on WhatsApp or Telegram to "activate your account in Syria". That's a scam. If your account gets restricted, read [Binance account restricted](https://exchangesteps.com/binance-account-restricted).
