Address (PIN) verification |
To protect the security of accounts, Google requires you to verify your address before we can send you payment. To do so, we mail a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to your payment address. You'll then need to enter this PIN within your account. You'll have four months from the date your first PIN is generated to enter it in your account. After four months, your account will stop displaying ads. See an example of PIN mailer.
If you don't receive your PINWe understand that your PIN can fail to reach you. That's why if you don't receive your PIN, you can request a replacement PIN.
