What does “AdSense PIN verification failed” mean?

It means the PIN you entered did not match Google’s records, so your address could not be verified. Until this is fixed, AdSense will not release payments.

This message appears in Google AdSense under the Payments section.

Has Google sent my payment to the bank?

No.
Payments remain blocked until address verification is successful.

Is my money lost?

No.
Your earnings stay safe in your AdSense balance.

Why does PIN verification fail?

PIN verification usually fails because of:

  • Entering the PIN incorrectly

  • Using an old or expired PIN

  • Requesting multiple PINs and entering the wrong one

  • Address mismatch between AdSense and postal records

  • Typing errors or extra spaces

Only the latest PIN sent by Google works.

How many attempts do I get?

AdSense allows limited PIN entry attempts.
Repeated failures can temporarily lock PIN verification.

What should I do if PIN verification fails?

  1. Double-check the PIN exactly as printed

  2. Ensure you are using the most recent PIN

  3. Verify your address details in AdSense

  4. Request a new PIN if allowed

  5. Wait for the new PIN and enter it carefully

Do not guess the PIN repeatedly.

What if the PIN never arrives or keeps failing?

After multiple failed attempts:

  • AdSense may offer alternative address verification

  • You may need to submit additional documents

Follow on-screen instructions in Payments.

How long does this delay payments?

  • Until PIN verification is successful

  • Earnings continue accumulating

  • Payments resume in the next payout cycle after verification

AdSense PIN verification failed means the PIN entered was incorrect or invalid. Request a new PIN, enter it carefully, and once verified, AdSense payments resume normally.
