How to Open an Exness Account

Have these ready before opening the form

The upload step is where registrations stall, and almost always for the same reasons: a cropped corner, a glare stripe, an expired document, or a name spelled differently from the form.

• An email address you can open on the same device as the form, because a six-digit code is sent to it
• A phone number that is reachable while the form is open - it is verified too
• A government-issued photo ID that is in date: passport, national ID or driver's licence
• A proof of residential address in the same name, matching the address entered on the form
• A decision on the base currency, because it is chosen when the account is opened

How long: Registration takes a few minutes; identity verification (KYC) is usually approved within about 24 hours.
Eligibility: You must be of legal age and a resident of an eligible country. Identity is verified with a government ID and a proof of address, and the details on both have to match what was entered on the form.

Registration and verification, screen by screen

1. Use the Open Account button on this page to start the registration form on Exness's own site.
2. Enter an email you can open on the same device and create a password - a six-digit code is sent while the form waits.
3. Confirm the phone number; it is verified too, so use one that is reachable now.
4. Enter residential details exactly as they appear on the document that will be uploaded.
5. Choose the account type and the base currency - the base currency stays with the account.
6. Upload a government-issued photo ID: in date, all four corners visible, no glare across the photo page.
7. Upload a proof of address in the same name, showing the address entered earlier.
8. Wait for approval - verification is usually approved within about 24 hours and unlocks full access, including withdrawals.
9. Install a platform and rehearse on the demo while approval runs, then fund the account.

Preparing the two documents before the form is open

The upload step is where registrations stall, and almost always for the same reasons: a cropped corner, a glare stripe across the photo page, a document that has expired, or a name spelled differently from the form. Photographing both documents flat, in daylight, before the form is open turns the upload into a thirty-second step.

The address entered during registration and the address on the proof have to match. If a move is in progress, use the address the document actually shows and update it afterwards, rather than entering the new one and hoping the old document passes.

What happens automatically and what has to be asked for

After sign-up a real and a demo MT5 Standard account are created automatically, so an empty account list means the page has not refreshed rather than that something failed. If a different account currency or a different tier is needed, that is a new account opened from the Personal Area, not a change to the first one.

One point worth setting expectations on: Exness does not offer account-opening bonuses or promo codes. A site promising one is not part of this procedure, and registration should be completed on the official exness.com domain.

Registration and verification, screen by screen

1. Start the form. Use the Open Account button on this page. It leads to the registration form on Exness's own site.
2. Email and password. Enter an email you can open on the same device, because a six-digit code is sent to it and the form waits.
3. Confirm the phone. The phone number is verified too, so use one that is reachable while the form is still open.
4. Residential details. Enter them as they appear on the document that will be uploaded later. A mismatch here is the usual reason a document is rejected.
5. Account type and base currency. Both are chosen now. The base currency stays with the account, so decide it before confirming.
6. Upload the ID. A passport, national ID or driver's licence, in date, with all four corners visible and no glare across the photo page.
7. Upload the proof of address. It has to carry the same name and the address entered in step 4.
8. Wait for approval. Verification is usually approved within about 24 hours and unlocks full access, including withdrawals.
9. Fund and install. Standard and Standard Cent open with no minimum initial deposit, so the platform can be installed and rehearsed on a demo while approval runs.

A real and a demo MT5 Standard account are created automatically after sign-up. Open a new account if a different account currency is needed.

Registration: what each screen needs

Registration takes a few minutes. Identity verification is usually approved within about 24 hours.
