Who This Is For

Use this page if you are working through the registration flow and want a faster read before taking the next action inside OKX.

Suggested Path

  1. First return to the live OKX verification page and confirm whether the status is simply under review, asking for more documents or requesting a fresh capture.
  2. Then recheck your name, document details, photo clarity, region information and device context to spot anything that may have triggered manual review.
  3. If the page shows no new action, wait through the current review window instead of uploading the same materials repeatedly.
  4. When the delay clearly exceeds the normal range shown on the page, gather screenshots, submission time and document type before contacting support.

Checks Before You Continue

FAQ

Does under review mean the KYC failed?

Not necessarily. It often means queue time, manual review or an extra validation step.

Why should I avoid resubmitting too many times?

Repeated uploads can create more noise and may slow an existing review instead of helping it.

When should I contact support?

When the waiting time clearly exceeds the usual window and there is still no new request on the page.
