|---|---|
| **Main exchange** | Binance (most Syrian pound P2P ads) |

| **Verification** | Passport, driver's license or ID card |
| **The app** | Straight from the Binance website (app stores aren't supported in Syria) |

## Step 0: download Binance the right way

According to Binance, Google Play and the App Store **aren't supported in Syria yet**. Download the app **straight from the official Binance website**, or use the website in your browser. Don't install copies shared in groups or links someone sends you.

## How to buy USDT in Syria, step by step

### 1. Create your account

Sign up with your email or phone number and choose a strong password. [Full guide](https://exchangesteps.com/how-to-create-binance-account).

### 2. Verify your account

Choose **Syria** as your country of residence and upload a **valid government ID**: a passport, driver's license or ID card. Then complete the face check. [Full guide](https://exchangesteps.com/binance-identity-verification).

> 💡 **There's a reason so many people search for "Binance verification for Syrians":** before 2025, people living in Syria couldn't sign up. Binance now officially accepts them, as long as they meet the verification requirements.

### 3. Open P2P and choose the Syrian pound

**[Add Funds]** → **[P2P Trading]**, then **USDT** and the currency **SYP**.

### 4. Pick a seller who accepts Sham Cash

Filter by the payment method **Sham Cash**, then compare the price, the order limits and the seller's number of trades.

### 5. Pay from a Sham Cash account in your name

Tap **[Buy]**, enter the amount, then **[Place Order]**. Open **[View payment details]** and send the exact amount from a Sham Cash account **in your own name** to the account shown in the order.

### 6. Tap [Transferred, notify seller]

Only after you've actually sent the money. Don't cancel the order after paying, and don't contact the seller outside the order chat.

### 7. Your USDT is in your Funding wallet

Once the seller releases it, you'll find your USDT in your **Funding wallet**. That's your "USDT wallet" on Binance, and it's where you can sell or send from later.

## A USDT wallet in Syria: what does that mean?

Lots of people search for a "USDT wallet in Syria". In practice, you have two options:
- **Your Binance account:** it holds your USDT, and it's where you buy and sell for Syrian pounds on P2P. This is the easiest option for beginners.
- **A USDT deposit address:** on Binance, go to **[Deposit]** → **USDT** → choose the network (TRC20, for example) → copy the address. This is the address you give to anyone who wants to send you USDT. [USDT networks explained](https://exchangesteps.com/usdt-networks).
