Why haven't I received my PIN mail?
There are several reasons why you might not have received your PIN yet:
Possible reason | What to check | How to resolve |
---|
You haven't verified your identity. | Have you submitted your ID for verification? | If not, go to the Payments Verification tab and submit it. Your PIN will only be sent after you successfully verify your identity. |
Your account hasn't reached the verification threshold. | Is there a PIN notification displayed on your AdMob homepage? | If not, wait until your new account balance reaches the verification threshold. |
Your payments address is invalid because it has been associated with fraudulent activity. | Is there an address notification displayed on your Payments Verification tab? | Update your payments address to a different one. After your new address is verified, request your PIN. |
You haven't waited for three weeks since your last PIN request. PIN mails are sent via international standard post and can take up to three weeks to reach you. |
Has it been three weeks since your PIN was sent? Check the Payments Verification tab to find out when your PIN was generated. |
If not, wait for at least three weeks for your PIN to arrive. If you still haven't received your PIN after three weeks, you can request a replacement PIN. Tip: Your replacement PIN will be an exact duplicate of the original PIN. You can enter any of the PINs that you receive, regardless of which one arrives first.

Your payments address is not valid for standard mail delivery. | Have you received standard mail at the payments address in your AdMob account? |
If not, change your payments address to one that can receive standard post. After you've updated your address, wait three weeks from the date the last PIN was posted to you, then request that a replacement PIN be sent to your updated address. |
What is a valid payments address?
A valid payments address is one that can receive standard mail. Here's an example of a standard address format you can follow:
- Address 1: house or block number, street name, neighbourhood/district name, city name
- Address 2 (if applicable): unit number, floor number, building name
- Postal code: postcode, ZIP code
My address verification failed, what should I do?
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times, you will fail the address verification and your account will stop showing ads. To reset your PIN verification limit, request a replacement PIN.
I haven’t passed address verification after four months and my ads are not showing now. What should I do?
If you haven't verified your address after four months, we'll stop showing ads on your pages. To extend your address verification timeline, please contact us.
I requested multiple PINs, should I wait for the latest PIN number?
Google generates a unique six-digit PIN for each account. Your replacement PIN will be a duplicate of the original. If the original PIN arrives first, you may use it.
