You don't need a laptop to open an XM account — the entire registration, document verification, and first deposit can all be done from the XM app on your phone. Handy if you want to get started without waiting until you're at a computer.
Steps to Sign Up via the App
Download the XM App
Download the official XM app for Android or iOS. Use the official link to avoid modified APKs from unverified sources.
Fill Out the Form in the App
Enter your country, email, and set a password — same as the web version, but often faster since some fields autofill from your phone.
Photograph Documents with Your Camera
Upload your ID/passport and proof of address straight from your phone's camera — make sure lighting is even and there's no glare on the document surface.
Track Verification Status
Verification status updates appear directly in the app, so there's no need to keep checking your email.
Why Signing Up on Mobile Is Often Easier
- Phone cameras often produce clearer document photos than a laptop webcam or flatbed scan
- Push notifications tell you the moment verification is done
- Deposits and withdrawals can be done from the same app without logging back in through a browser
