Transliteration differences between documents and account details can delay exchange verification. How users in Ukraine can choose the right document, enter names consistently and respond calmly to a request for more information.

A name written in Cyrillic can be transliterated into Latin letters in more than one way, and different documents issued at different times may use different spellings. A foreign travel passport, an internal ID card, a bank card and an older document may not match letter for letter. Exchange identity checks often compare the name you type with the name on your document and later with the name on your bank account, so small differences can lead to a rejection or a request for more information. This guide helps users in Ukraine verifying accounts on Binance, OKX, Bybit or Bitget prepare consistently. It explains how to pick the document you will use, how to type your name exactly as shown, what to do about mismatches with bank accounts and how to respond if verification is paused.
Choose one document and stick to it
Look at the documents the exchange accepts for your country, listed on its official help pages, and choose the one you are most likely to use consistently. Check its expiry date. Then use the exact Latin spelling of your name as printed on that document throughout the verification process. Avoid mixing a spelling from your passport with one from a bank card or a social media profile.
Type your name exactly as printed
Enter first name, last name and any middle or patronymic name exactly as they appear on the chosen document, including letter order. If the document shows a patronymic and the form has a field for it, fill it in consistently. If the form lacks a suitable field, follow the exchange's guidance rather than guessing. Small typing differences are one of the most frequent reasons for a rejection.
Plan for the bank account name
When you later fund the account, the bank's spelling of your name may differ from your document. Many exchanges require payments from an account in the same name as the verified user. Check how your name appears on your bank card or statements before you start. If they differ, ask the exchange support through the official app how to proceed rather than sending a payment that may be returned.
Respond calmly to requests for more information
If verification is paused or rejected, read the reason given. Retake photos in good light without glare, make sure all corners of the document are visible and resubmit only what was requested. If the issue is a name difference, explain it briefly through the official support channel and provide the requested documents. Never use a third party offering to complete verification for you, and never submit someone else's documents.
