Google Verification

Verification for Google Ads, Google My Business, and Google Merchant Center

Pro Tip: Use a Passport

We strongly recommend using a passport instead of a national ID card. Passports have significantly higher acceptance rates across all platforms and reduce the chance of rejection due to document quality or format issues.

Required Documents
You must have all of these documents ready before starting the verification check.

  • Government-issued ID

    Required

    Passport or driver's license of the account administrator

    💡 Passport is recommended for international businesses as it's universally accepted.

  • Business Registration Certificate

    Required

    Official document proving your business registration

    💡 Must show business name, registration number, and be issued by a government authority.

  • Business Address Verification

    Required

    Utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement

    💡 Google may also send a postcard to verify your address for Google My Business.

  • Advertiser Identity Verification

    Required

    Additional ID verification for Google Ads advertisers

    💡 Required for all advertisers. You'll need to verify your identity and business operations.

Optional Documents
These documents may help speed up your verification or serve as backup.

  • Website Ownership Proof

    Optional

    Domain registration or hosting documentation

    💡 You can also verify via Google Search Console or adding a meta tag to your website.
