To continue to show ads and receive payments from Google AdMob, you need to verify your identity. This is to confirm the accuracy of your account information and protect you from fraud.
How to verify your identity
- Sign in to your AdMob account at https://admob.google.com.
- Click Payments in the sidebar.
- Click the Verification tab.
- In the "Identity Verification" section, click Take action.
- Follow the instructions to submit your documents.
Submit your documents
Here are some tips on successfully submitting your documents:
- Use the same full name in all documents.
- Submit documents that are current and not expired.
- Capture the entire document, the photo should be readable and in focus.
- Keep your image free of reflections and glare.
- Incomplete or obstructed documents or dark or blurry photos won't be accepted.
- Uploading documents or photos other than your ID may result in account suspension.
Document requirements for individual accounts
Your ID document must be a government-issued ID such as a passport, national/state ID, driving license, or residence permit (not an exhaustive list).
Document requirements for business accounts
- Proof of organization document
- Valid government-issued photo ID of authorized representative
Note: Your proof of organization document must:
- Allow Google to confirm the current existence of the organization; expired documents or documents suggesting the organization does not exist or no longer exists can’t be accepted.
- Be issued by an issuing authority, i.e., federal/state/municipal government, public institution (tax authority, securities and exchange commission, etc.), chamber of commerce, business registry, etc. This does not include utility bills, bank statements, insurance statements or rental agreements.
If we can't verify your identity
Sometimes we're unable to verify your identity from the documents you provide, for example, if your documents are blurry or unreadable. We'll let you know if this happens and invite you to resubmit.
To prevent abuse, we only allow a limited number of verification attempts. If you've reached your limit of attempts, use our Identity verification troubleshooter to find out what steps to take next.
