Select your country and add your phone number.
A 7-digit code will be sent to your phone, and you will be directed to enter this code.
After entering the code, you may or may not be directed to verify your ID. If you are not, then your account set up is finished for now. If you are directed to verify your ID, that is the next step covered.
Even if you’re not prompted to verify your ID now, you will want to do so anyway, because sooner or later you must verify your ID to purchase or continue purchasing cryptocurrency.
You can upload a driver’s license or other photo ID, and can upload with a webcam, a mobile camera, or a file upload. You will be required to upload a clear photo of the front and back of the idea. The photo verification may take a few minutes.
If the photo fails to verify, make sure the photo is clear and no parts of the ID are obscured. If you still cannot verify your ID, then contact Coinbase support.
Once your photo ID is verified, the ID verification process should be complete.
With your account all set up, you can finally buy some cryptocurrency!
Click the “Buy/Sell” tab at the top of the page.
Select the type of cryptocurrency you want, the payment method, and the amount in dollars.
After continuing, access your email and follow the verification link.
You will then be directed to begin setting up your account. Fill in your name, email, password, and location. Complete the captcha, then certify that you are over 18 and agree to the Coinbase user agreement and privacy policy.
