Direct answer
Begin at Coinbase's official domain, choose the correct individual or business account type, and use contact details you control for the long term. Coinbase's current new-customer guide separates account creation, identity verification, payment-method setup and two-step verification. Its identity guidance says verification requests should be checked from inside the signed-in account and that document upload pages should remain on Coinbase-owned domains. Enter your name as shown on the accepted government ID, submit documents only through the live official flow, and do not email identity files. Approval is not a promise that every asset, payment rail or product is available; confirm the signed-in account state and secure it before any small test transaction.

1. Account-opening checkpoint: Account type
Opening an exchange account is a legal and security onboarding process, not a shortcut to a trade. The account type checkpoint concerns individual versus business ownership. Start from the venue's official domain or installed app, read the current eligibility and privacy terms for the place where the user ordinarily resides, and then choose the type that matches the real legal user. Never use a false location, another person's identity, a temporary inbox, or a referral promise as a substitute for the platform's live rules.
Treat every screen as an evidence boundary. A public help page describes a normal path, while the signed-in page determines which entity, documents, questions, limits, payment rails, and products apply to this account. Save only non-secret operational evidence such as the page name, submission date, status, and next review point. Do not copy passwords, one-time codes, document images, selfie captures, tax numbers, private keys, seed phrases, or recovery secrets into notes, screenshots, tickets, or chat. The source set cannot resolve whether later conversion is supported, so that uncertainty remains a stop condition rather than an invitation to improvise.
Complete account type before depositing meaningful funds: choose the type that matches the real legal user. After the platform reports completion, independently revisit the official domain, confirm the account's actual service entity and available features, enable the strongest practical authentication, and test only the smallest reversible funding or withdrawal path where permitted. Registration, identity approval, product access, and safe execution are four separate gates. If whether later conversion is supported is still unclear, pause and use the venue's authenticated support channel instead of guessing.

Decision scenarios
Scenario 1: when account type becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is individual versus business ownership. The correct response is not to infer a universal platform or product winner. It is to choose the type that matches the real legal user, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed. If the evidence changes, the decision must be reopened. This produces a repeatable operating rule rather than a one-time opinion.
Scenario 2: when official domain becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is Coinbase-owned sign-up and verification pages. It is to navigate independently and inspect the full hostname, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed.
Scenario 3: when email becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is verification and long-term recovery channel. It is to use an address controlled only by the account owner, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed.
Scenario 4: when legal name becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is match with accepted government ID. It is to enter the name exactly as shown on the document, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed.
Scenario 5: when phone becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is SMS verification and account contact. It is to use a genuine number under durable control, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed.
Scenario 6: when identity capture becomes decisive
Consider a reader whose main constraint is document, selfie or video requested in-session. It is to submit only within the authenticated Coinbase flow, retain the evidence, and define a stop condition before funds or permissions are committed.
