You can change the country registered to your Coinbase account by modifying your residential address. To do this, you must first sign in to your account. Log in with your email address and click Continue. You can also log in with a passkey or via Google or Apple.

Go to Your Profile Page

You can click on your profile picture or tap the Profile tab.

Click Edit

You can see "Edit" beside the residential address. Click on it to update your details. Don't forget to save the changes.

Since you're moving or have already moved to another country, Coinbase may request additional proof of address again. Services may also change, depending on the country.

If you're in another country and moving to the US, Mexico, or Canada permanently, submit one of these documents as proof:National Identity CardPermanent Residence CardCitizenship Certificate Other documents confirming your address. Note that this must be issued within the last 12 monthsPlease note that your account will only be updated when Coinbase approves your proof of address.

If you're not based in the US, please refer to this page for proof of residency documents.

In some cases, your Coinbase account may also be restricted after changing the address. The platform may have detected a malicious activity after the address change. Don't worry, as this is usually a temporary issue. You can wait for the restriction to be automatically removed, or proceed to the next steps to recover your account.

Review the Recommendations

You can see the recommendations from Coinbase right after signing in. Check them and make the necessary updates to lift the restriction. Resolution can take up to 10 business days to process.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Coinbase Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
