Self-service (password reset with email): 5 minutes. Manual recovery (ID verification): 24-48 hours weekdays, 48-72 hours weekends.

Can I recover my account if I lost ID verification documents?

Very difficult. Support may accept alternative proof (bank statements, utility bills with same name), but success rate is low. Always keep ID documents safe.

Will I lose my funds if I can't recover my account?

No. Funds are safe. Once you complete ID verification, you'll regain full access. Accounts are never deleted, only locked for security.

Can I speed up the recovery process?

Yes: (1) Provide clear photos of ID, (2) Answer all verification questions accurately, (3) Use VIP support if you're a VIP member, (4) Contact during business hours.
