When your earnings reach the verification threshold which is about USD10, Google will mail a PIN to your payment address so that payment can be made to you. You have signed up for AdSense and placed the ads on your website which is generating earnings everyday but you have not received Personal Identification Number (PIN) for account verification, what should you do? This is a guide on how to contact Adsense to submit a proof of identity in order to confirm the validity of your postal address.
You’ll have 4 months from the date your PIN is generated to enter it in your account. If you haven’t entered it after 4 months, Google will stop showing ads on your pages. What happened to me was I did not receive the PIN even after reaching the threshold and have requested for the PIN to be resent, waited but still no PIN. I am located in Malaysia, double checked the address in my Adsense account is correct but failed to get the PIN delivered.
What you can do is to continue to request the PIN to be resent every 4 weeks. After 4 months you can submit a proof of identity to confirm the validity of your postal address using the PIN Troubleshooter. You can submit your ID card, bank statement, utility bill, etc. with your postal address on it.
