How to verify Your Bitget Account in Kenya: A Step-by-Step KYC Guide


Prerequisites:
- Download Bitget application on Playstore or app store
- Prepare your National ID, Driving Licence or Passport
- Ensure you have proper lighting for accuracy of KYC information
Introduction
If you’re looking to buy Bitcoin in Kenya, trade USDT, or cash out crypto to M-Pesa, completing your Bitget KYC verification is the first step. KYC (Know Your Customer) is not just about compliance with Kenyan regulations — it’s your gateway to higher withdrawal limits, faster P2P transactions, and access to advanced features like Futures, Earn, and On-Chain swaps.
With KYC, you can easily:
- Deposit Kenyan Shillings (KES) via MPesa
- Trade USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more
- Withdraw crypto profits directly to MPesa or bank accounts
Step 1: Download and Set Up the Bitget App
To begin, download the Bitget app from your preferred store:
Google Play Store (Android)
Apple App Store (iOS)
|
Once installed, open the app and tap Continue, then Get Started.
|
|
|
You’ll be prompted to create an account. Bitget offers flexible sign-up options:
- Email and password
- Phone number
- Social login via Google, Apple ID, or Telegram
|
|
|
Tip: For best security, use a strong password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
After signing up, you’ll receive a verification code in your email. Enter that code to activate your account. At this stage, you can also enable biometric login for added convenience and safety.

Step 2: Begin the Verification Process
Once you’re inside the app, click the "Verify" button on the homepage.
You will need:
- A valid government-issued ID (National ID card, Driving License or Passport)
- A few seconds for facial recognition
|
|
Now tap "Verify Now" and select your country:
- Country of residence: Kenya
- Document issuing country: Kenya
Then choose your document type:
- National ID Card
- Passport
- Driving Licence
Click "Next" to get to the verification page

Step 3: Upload Your Identification Document
You will now start the verification process. You now need to consent to processing data and Click "Start"
The app will prompt you to take and upload two photos:
- A clear photo of the front side of your ID and will be captured automatically. Ensure your ID is within the green frame as shown
- Now you flip the ID to the back side, and frame it within the green frame. A clear photo of the back side of your ID will be captured.
Pro Tip: Ensure your ID is valid (not expired), unaltered, and free from any glare or shadows. The text should be fully legible.
|
|
|
The photos will be automatically uploaded, and checked for accuracy.
Step 4: Complete Face Verification
Next comes facial verification. First click on the "Continue" button as shown, now proceed to center your face in the provided frame and maintain a neutral expression while the app scans your features.
To increase approval chances:
- Be in a well-lit room
- Avoid wearing hats, glasses, or masks
- Keep your phone steady during the scan
- Keep still and balance your face on the provided frame
The face will be uploaded and biometric data analysed. Face verification usually takes just a few seconds to process and will now proceed to review process

Step 5: KYC Tips for Kenyan Users
Before you hit submit, keep these points in mind to avoid common mistakes:
1. Use original documents only – no scans or laminated images.
2. Photos must be clear – avoid blurry or low-light submissions.
3. ID must be valid – expired IDs will be rejected.
4. One account per person – duplicate KYC details are not allowed.
5. Face must match ID photo – make sure you’re using your own ID.
Step 6: Confirmation and Access
Once you’ve completed all the steps, your Level 1 KYC verification will be reviewed. In most cases, this takes only a few minutes.
- Verification usually takes just a few minutes.
- Once approved, you’ll receive an email confirmation.
