How to recover account access with KuCoin in the US (2025)

If you plan to recover account access in the US, start with the basics of KuCoin. This 2025 guide explains the exact steps, the documents you may be asked for, and the common mistakes that delay the process.

This page is part of a living guide. The steps reflect the 2025 interface of KuCoin; when the platform ships a redesign, the checklist is updated and the change date is noted.

Security comes before convenience. Enable two-factor authentication, review active sessions, and make sure the email and phone attached to the account are ones you control in the US.

Fees are the part most people skip. KuCoin publishes a fee schedule that changes by market, order type, and volume. Before you recover account access, read the current schedule so the cost is predictable, not a surprise.

Withdrawals deserve a dry run. Send a small amount first, confirm the network, and check the address character by character. A single wrong character is the most common cause of lost funds.

Taxes differ by jurisdiction. In the US, keep a record of every transaction you make while you recover account access: date, amount, fee, and counterparty. Most local tax offices accept a simple spreadsheet.
