To continue to show ads and receive payments from Google AdSense, you need to verify your identity. This is to confirm the accuracy of your account information and protect you from fraud.
When you're required to verify your identity, we place a temporary payments hold on your account. Note, you won't be asked to verify your address via PIN until after you've successfully verified your identity.
Note: You have 45 days from the date we first ask you to verify your identity to submit the required documents in your account. After 45 days, if you haven't provided the documents or we're still unable to verify your identity from the documents you have provided, we'll stop showing ads on your pages.
Sign in to your account and follow the instructions on your "Payments" page.
Note: Verification can take up to 2 days.

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.
Note: We can't remove the payment hold on your account until we've verified your identity.
