You’ve got an email notification from Google that you should start your Google Ads account verification process. Now what?
It is a standard procedure in which Google tries to match the account with the company and the billing information.
The process is quite simple: you’ll need company and personal documents that should confirm that the account is associated with your company.
You will need to submit the following documents to Google:
- A scan of one of the documents related to the company.
That could be any of the below documents:
– A letter or notice issued or stamped by the IRS, such as CP 575 that confirms your Employer Identification Number (EIN)
– A copy of the organization’s Form 8871, 8872, or 990 from the IRS website
– A state-issued certificate of business registration or incorporation
– Your organization’s most recent SEC filing, including Form 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K
– A business credit report from Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, or Dun & Bradstreet
AND
- One of the personal documents from the list below:
– Driver’s License
– State ID
– U.S. Passport or Passport Card
– Green Card
Additional tips:
Double-check the date on your personal document to make sure it’s not expired.
Ideally, the personal document should belong to the person listed in the company’s IRS document as a company representative.
When sending a personal document, please remember that all four edges of the document must be visible. Also, you will need both sides of that document scanned.
There is usually a deadline for completing the verification process and it will be indicated in Google’s email notification.
