Hey! I finally received an email with a PIN from Google adsense! The letter came on the second try, but that's my cant! Russian Post and Google Adsense are not to blame! I just initially forgot to indicate the letter to the house, and then I corrected the address, requested a new pin-code and the letter came in about a month. In general, no problems by and large, you just need to figure it out and that's it!

Today, With this post, I want to reassure all users who have not yet received a PIN from Adsense to verify their address. Friends, it doesn't matter whether you receive a letter with a code by mail or not, in any case, you can confirm the address without receiving a letter, that is, manually on the site! See how everything works and what needs to be done:

You are asking for a PIN code for the first time and wait 2-4 weeks.

If the letter has not arrived within a month you can request a pin code a second time. After a month, just go to your google account Adsense, to the address confirmation page, where you need to enter the PIN code. At the bottom of the page, you will be able to request a new pin code.

Request a pin code a second time and wait 2-4 weeks.

Similarly, if the letter has not been received within a month, do your third, last, try.

Requesting a pin code for the third time... Last time!

After requesting the pin code for the third time, you will see a notification at the bottom of the page:

– If you have not received your PIN within 4 weeks after that date, please fill out this form and attach digital image a government-issued document that identifies you, or a bank statement or phone bill that lists your name and address as they appear as the payee's name and billing address in your account. Please note that we only accept information in supported languages.

Do you understand? After the third request for a pin code, after 4 weeks, you no longer have to wait for a letter! You need to click on the tab at the bottom of the page - "This form" to fill out the appropriate form and attach a scan of your document, a scan of your passport or bank account. I cannot say anything concrete about this, since I did not have time to use this service. After requesting the third pin code, the letter came in 2-3 days from the second request.

Don't wait more than a month for your PIN! After a month, order a new pin code! You will have three attempts, that is, three months. After the third request, you will have the opportunity to use online address confirmation, that is, directly on the site, without a letter, but you need to wait 4 weeks. For everything about everything, Google gives 4 months, after four months, if you do nothing, your account will be temporarily blocked, pending the proceedings!

And more friends, after the first request for a pin code, if the pin code does not come within a month, check your address! Perhaps you are missing something or have errors. By the way, it was after I indicated the address completely in Russian that I received a letter. Therefore, I recommend that you indicate your address completely in Russian! It worked 100% for me!
