# Bybit in Türkiye: Bybit TR sign-up and KYC

Updated: 2026-10-10. Facts checked against official Bybit pages.

In Türkiye Bybit works through its local platform Bybit TR (bybit.tr). You register by email or phone, enter referral code 53152, and then pass Advanced Verification with a Republic of Türkiye ID card. Without it you cannot use Bybit TR products or withdraw.

## Detailed answer

Bybit TR is listed by Türkiye's Capital Markets Board (SPK) among crypto asset service providers in operation; SPK calls this a temporary list that does not by itself mean a completed licence. One email or phone number can open only one Bybit TR account. Verification runs in the Bybit TR app: NFC scan of a Turkish ID card, a short video call with support, and a proof of address in Türkiye dated within the last three months.
