# MEXC Tutorial for Beginners

> **Quick answer**
> MEXC is a big exchange, but **since February 2026 you have to be verified to use it**: an unverified account **can't deposit or withdraw**, trading is restricted, and all you can do is follow prices. Here's the path: **(1) create an account**, **(2) complete Primary KYC** with photos of your ID (reviewed within 24 hours), then **Advanced KYC** with face recognition for higher limits, and **(3) deposit and trade**. **MEXC isn't available to residents of Sudan, and it rejects Sudanese ID documents.**
