Problems with PIN & address verification

There are several reasons why you might not have received your Personal Identification Number (PIN) yet. Use the following table to understand the possible reasons and what you can do. 

If you're still having issues, use the AdMob PIN troubleshooter to understand your PIN status and the next steps. 

Possible reason	What you can do
You haven't received a PIN notification for your account.	You'll only be required to verify your PIN after your account balance reaches the verification threshold. If you don't see a notification displayed on your AdMob Home dashboard, then it means that your account has not yet reached the verification threshold.
Your PIN hasn't been sent yet.	You might have to wait for up to a week after your account balance reaches the verification threshold before your PIN is generated and mailed to you.
You haven't waited for three weeks after your last PIN was generated.	PINs often take up to three weeks to reach you by mail, though it may take longer depending on your location. If you haven't received your PIN after three weeks, you'll need to request a replacement.
Your payment address is not valid.	Take a moment to review your payment address, and make updates to your address if necessary.

How to request a replacement PIN

If you haven't received your PIN, or it's been lost, you can request a replacement PIN. To make sure it has enough time to reach you, you'll need to wait three weeks after your last PIN was mailed before requesting a replacement.

Before requesting a replacement PIN, make sure your payment address is correct. Learn how to change your payment address.

To request a replacement PIN:

1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://apps.admob.com.
2. On your AdMob Home dashboard, find the PIN verification card and click Verify.
3. On your "Account information" page, click Resend PIN.

   We'll mail a new PIN to your payment address. If your original PIN arrives first, feel free to use it; the replacement PIN will be a duplicate of the original.
