Due to COVID-19, your PIN may be delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience.
To protect the security of your account, Google requires you to verify your address before we can send you any payments.
How address verification works
- When your earnings reach the verification threshold, we mail a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to your payment address.
It usually takes 2–4 weeks for your PIN to arrive, but it may take longer depending on your location.
Note: If we've asked you to verify your identity, we won't send your PIN until after you've successfully completed identity verification - When you receive your PIN, you enter it in AdSense to verify your address.
You'll have 4 months from the date your PIN is generated to enter it in your account. If you haven't entered it after 4 months, we'll stop showing ads on your pages.
Note: Your PIN is a 6-digit number that we generate when your account reaches the verification threshold. Your PIN is not the same as your publisher ID. Please only enter the correct PIN number in the PIN verification card. Do not enter random numbers. If you enter your PIN incorrectly 3 times, your account will stop showing ads.
