2. How to Obtain a Taiwan Apple ID on iOS Devices and Download the Binance App

Because the domestic App Store imposes regional restrictions on certain crypto‑trading apps, Apple users need a Taiwan‑region Apple ID in order to find Binance, OKX, and similar applications in the store.

1. Preparations

• An iPhone or iPad
• An email address that is not already linked to an Apple ID (Gmail or Outlook is recommended)
• A tool that can generate a Taiwanese address (available at this link)
• The name can be entered in pinyin or traditional Chinese; the birthdate must be at least 18 years old (it does not need to be real)

2. Registration Process

1. Open a browser and go to the Apple ID registration page (https://appleid.apple.com). Fill in the last name, first name, Country/Region (select Taiwan), and a birth date that makes you over 18.

1. It is advisable to use a Gmail address. The password must contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For Country/Region you may keep Mainland China selected so you can receive the verification code on a Chinese mobile number. After completing the fields, enter the code you receive and click Continue.

1. Check your email inbox for a verification link sent by Apple and complete the email verification.

1. The system will then send a verification code to the phone number you entered earlier. Enter the code as instructed. At this point a Taiwan‑region Apple ID has been partially created.

1. On your iPhone/iPad open the App Store and sign in with the new Apple ID (do not sign in via the Settings app). The system will request two‑factor authentication; complete it to proceed.

1. After successful verification you will see a “Check” prompt. Tick Agree to Terms and Conditions and continue. On the payment‑method screen choose none, enter any billing name and address (a 6‑digit postal code is sufficient), and put a placeholder phone number such as 1234567890. Click Next.

1. The Apple ID is now fully active. Log into the App Store with this account and you will be able to search for and download the overseas versions of Binance, OKX, and other crypto apps.

2. Confirm the transaction details, then follow the seller’s instructions to transfer the fiat amount to their bank account (or via the chosen payment channel).
3. After the seller verifies the receipt of funds, the corresponding amount of USDT (or another stablecoin) will be credited to your Binance wallet automatically.
