1. Create or Log Into Your Bybit Account
If you don't have a Bybit account yet, create one using your email address. Make sure to use an email you have long-term access to, as this will be tied to your verified account.

- Select "ID Card" or "Government-issued ID" as your document type
- Enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your Palau ID
4. Upload Your Palau ID
For the best results when uploading your ID:
- Use a high-resolution camera or scanner
- Ensure all four corners of the ID are visible
