Today, I am writing an article on how to verify a Google AdSense account without a PIN. Google AdSense is one of the prominent and trusted ways to earn money from your blog. It is a simple and most powerful and popular source of earning for publishers and webmasters. But it is true that getting your blog approved by Google is really difficult because of their policies. Once your account is approved, Google has certain other verification processes. Google verifies your account by verifying the account holder’s address. Before sending money, Google sends a PIN code to your Address to verify your address and identity.
When Google Sends Pin Code?
When you set up a Google AdSense account and get approval
for publishing ads on your site or blog by Google AdSense, it starts showing
ads on your blog. Once your earnings have crossed $10, Google sends a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) to your Payee Profile address to verify the address
of the account holder. PINs typically arrive within 2-4 weeks but may take
longer depending on your location. Google mail your PIN on a white postcard
measuring 4.5 x 6 inches (11.4 x 15.2 cm). The PIN is of four digits. You
will then need to enter this PIN into your account (the pin Adsense sends). See
the below screenshot:
If somehow PIN does not reach your address, Google allows
you to request for two more times. In total, you get three chances of Address
verification. In all the cases Google Address verification PIN remains the
same. Be careful, if you enter the wrong PIN three times, your account will be
suspended.
What if the PIN Code does not reach after Three Attempts?
Google understands that sometimes the publishers might not
receive the PIN after three attempts. It might be because of a bad postal
service or your address is in remote areas. Google has provided a workaround
for this ๐
Keep in mind that you have four months to submit your PIN
after your first PIN is generated. If you fail to submit the PIN, Google will
stop showing ads on your blog.
Note: Till you are waiting for the Google AdSense account
setup, I would recommend trying ShareASale too. You can use it with
Google AdSense too. You may find the below articles useful –
How To Verify Google AdSense Account Without PIN Code?
Google has provided an alternate option to verify a Google AdSense account without a PIN code. For this, you need to submit
a proof of identity document that has your Payee Name and valid address that
you have mentioned in your Google AdSense account. The ID Proof document can be
any of the following:
- National
ID Card
- Electricity
Bill
- Driving
License
- Aadhaar
Card (For Indian publishers)
- Bank
Statement
Etc etc …..
When Can You Avail This Option to Verify Google AdSense
Account Without PIN?
Only after you have tried your three attempts and did not
receive PIN, you can use this option. Follow the steps mentioned below:
- Open
your Google
AdSense Account with your login credentials.
- You
must be seeing a notification top bar (red bar) if you have not verified
your account after requesting for 3rd Click on
Notification Option in the Google AdSense account
- As you
click on the “This Form “ link you will get another form fill it
in by Publisher Id, mail ID, and upload Photo ID and Address proof.
In case you do not remember your Publisher Id, click on the ‘Gear’ icon.
Go to Settings –> Account Information. Here you
will find your Publisher Id. It will be of ‘pub-****************’
- Click
On ‘Submit’
That’s it. In a few minutes, you will receive a mail
synonymous with the image below that you’ve fulfilled the address verification
requirement for AdSense.
I also got into the same situation where I did not receive a PIN for my AdSense account even after the third attempt. To verify my Adsense
account, I submitted my ‘Bank Statement’ as my ID Proof that has my relevant
address.
