Legal & safe alternatives — how to get a verified Coinbase account and use it securely 1) Create a legitimate Coinbase account ● Go to the official Coinbase website or app. ● Sign up with a unique email address and a strong password (long, random, password manager recommended). ● Confirm your email and complete the initial account setup. ✅✅Contact US ?Email: smartsmmz56.com@gmail.com ?

2. 2) Complete identity verification (KYC) properly ● Coinbase typically requires government ID (passport, driver’s license, national ID) and sometimes a selfie for liveness/identity matching. ● Provide accurate, up-to-date information that matches your ID. ● If asked for proof of address, upload a recent utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address. ● Follow on-screen instructions exactly (good lighting, no filters on selfies, full ID in frame). ✅✅Contact US ?Email: smartsmmz56.com@gmail.com ?

3. 5) Withdraw and custody best practices ● If you plan to hold long term, withdraw to your own wallet (self-custody) — hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) are the most secure. ● Never share seed phrases or private keys with anyone. ● Keep a secure backup of your recovery phrase stored offline in a safe location. 6) Security: lock down your account ● Enable strong 2-factor authentication (use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy — avoid SMS 2FA if possible). ● Turn on biometric locks on the mobile app. ● Use a unique password for Coinbase (password manager recommended). ● Enable device management alerts and review connected devices regularly. ● Beware of phishing: only follow links you type yourself or get from Coinbase’s official site/help center. 7) If you need multiple accounts for legitimate reasons ● Many exchanges allow business accounts or institutional accounts — open the correct account type and provide the required business documentation (EIN/registration, authorized representatives). ● Don’t use multiple personal accounts to evade limits or rules; that can get accounts frozen. 8) If you run into verification problems ● Use Coinbase’s official support channels and help center. ● Prepare clear scans/photos of IDs and any documents requested. ● Follow up through the exchange’s secure support portal rather than social media DMs or third-party “help” sellers.

4. 9) Privacy considerations (legally) ● If privacy is important, consider self-custody (you control your keys) and learn about on-chain privacy practices. ● Be cautious with privacy coins and local regulations — some jurisdictions restrict certain assets or require additional reporting. ● Consult a lawyer or tax professional about reporting obligations and the legality of specific privacy tools in your country. 10) Avoid scams and risky shortcuts ● Buying verified accounts, account credentials, or “pre-verified” services is risky and often fraudulent: ○ It’s illegal or violates platform terms. ○ You can lose funds, be scammed, or have accounts seized. ○ You may be exposed to identity theft or criminal liability. ● Use official channels.
