To protect the security of your account and make it easier for us to find account-specific details, you may be asked to provide ID when you communicate with Google. Collecting this information allows us to verify that the personal information you’ve provided is correct.
Your ID will be encrypted and stored in Google's internal system with high level protection, and will not be shared with others.
Acceptable forms of ID

Government issued ID card: The image must display your payee name and mailing address as they appear in your AdSense account.

Bank statement, telephone bill or rent receipt: If the postal address in your account is different from the address displayed on your ID card, or your ID does not provide information about your mailing address, you can also confirm your address by providing an image of a bank statement, telephone bill or rent receipt displaying your payee name and postal address as it appears in your AdSense account.
- We can only accept information printed in one of our supported languages.
- Your image should be readable, in focus, and free from reflections and glare.
