    How To Request For a New Google AdSense PIN

    As Google always helps us to get what we wants, same as Google also provide a ads networks called Google AdSense, which helps the webmaster or blogger to earn amount from its blog or sites. This really helps a lot to a blogger to earn.

    As days passes Google also changing is policy and getting much strict. Today's it is hard to get adsense account approved. I had also tried many of the times but failed. After a long goggling and learning basic SEO factors finally I have approved my accounts.


    If all goes well, and your earning reach to $10, depending your country, then you need to send request to AdSense team to generate your PIN code for the verification of your address as you have given on the adsense account signup. This PIN is compulsory for withdrawal of the earnings. Minimum withdraw threshold of the Google adsense is $100. It is not big target to achieve as if you have good amount of the traffic to your site or blog. PIN will be sent via postal order and can take 2-4 weeks to reach you. 


    Note: You have to wait for a week after your account balance reached verification threshold for a PIN to be generated and mailed to you. PINs often take up to 4 weeks to reach you by mail, though it may take longer depending on your location.


    If you’ve not received your PIN after four weeks, you’ll need to request a new one. To find the date when you will be able to request a new PIN, log in to your account and view the Account Settings page under the Home tab.

    How to request for a new AdSense pin:
    1. Login to your AdSense account
    2. Click on Gear icon at the top right & select settings.
    3. In the left sidebar click on account information


    4. Click the Verify Address link

    5. Request for new AdSense pin at the bottom of the page


    Note: All the sent pins are duplicate of the first pin sent out to you. So even if you have received the first pin after requesting for a new one, you can use it to verify your address.
    Usually due to location (Especially if you are residing in the remote part of your country), you may not receive AdSense pin even after reapplying for AdSense pin. I have heard reports of many such incidents, I experienced it too, and that is when I started looking for alternative methods of AdSense address verification. Luckily for me, I was able to get the best and easiest way to verify Google AdSense account in just 5minutes.

    AdSense verification process is one major problem many AdSense publishers face, after their AdSense application is fully approved or your account balance reached the threshold.

    Although, the 2nd step to get your AdSense fully approved takes quite time as compared to the first step, because in this time span Google checks your contents, page-views and lots of the other details listed in their policies.

If you can read this article, How To Get Your AdSense First And Second Step/Stage Application Approved In Five Days, written by me, you will see the simple thing i did and it worked for me.

    If your account balance reached verification threshold for a PIN to be generated and mailed to you and you have requested for your Google AdSense PIN twice or thrice but did not received your PIN after weeks or months. Don't worry, I have the best and easiest way to verify your Google AdSense account without PIN, with just your Voters Card, International Passport, NIMC print out, NEPA bill, Utility bill, National I.D card, Drivers Licence or any government documents you have.

    How to verify your Google AdSense account using Voters Card or other allowed Government Document
    Before beginning, have a scanned copy of your Voters Card or any of the documents mentioned above or any government document, ready. Make sure that the quality of the scanned image is top notch. Save this scanned file in your PC. You can also save it in form of a PDF document but is not all that necessary.

    Now, follow these steps:
    1. Go to your AdSense account. Login into the dashboard.
    2. Go to the section of ID verification
    3. Fill out the form, giving all the authentic details. Your full names and your correct Gmail address.
    4. Type in your AdSense publisher I.D
    5. You will find an option below to verify your account through documentation
    6. Click on upload document and then upload that scanned document/file you saved.
    7. Click the submit button
    See image below:


    After this, you need only wait for the AdSense team to reply. It can take up to 20 minutes; my own was not even up to five minutes. You will receive a mail synonymous to the image below that you’ve fulfilled the address verification requirement for AdSense.


    Your account is verified, you now have complete access to your earnings & once you have reached the payment threshold, you will be paid. To get your Google AdSense verified without PIN, just follow these simple steps above.

    N.B:
    =>> According to Adsense help, you can only send a copy of your official identity document or domestic bill only if you’ve requested your maximum of 3 PINs and haven’t received any of them within 4 weeks of your last PIN request but I verified my AdSense with my Voters Card few days after requesting for the third PIN.

    =>> You can use any proof of identity in order to confirm the validity of the postal address set in your AdSense account, i.e any proof of identity document you want to use must correspond with the same address you filled in your AdSense account.

    Go to AdSense help’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) for more details.
