My AdSense PIN letter has not arrived

Google posts the PIN that verifies your payments address. If it is late, you can request a replacement from your account; watch the deadline and the attempt limit.

Updated October 14, 2026

How long to wait

The PIN letter usually takes 3 weeks to arrive. If you have not received it after 3 weeks, you can request a replacement PIN. [1] [2]

If you have requested a 4th replacement and it still has not arrived after 3 weeks, Google sends you to its PIN troubleshooter. [3]

Deadlines and attempts

You have 4 months from the date the PIN is generated to enter it, and entering a wrong PIN 3 times stops ads on your account. [4] [5]

Before you request a new letter

Check the payments address in your account: the street, building, district and postal code should match how local post is actually delivered. Ask your local post office whether a letter is waiting there.

We cannot remove a hold, unlock an account or speed up a payment, and we have no access to any provider’s systems. We will never ask for your password, a verification code or your card number.

Paragraphs without a source number are our own explanation or advice, not a statement by the provider.

This is general information, not financial, legal or tax advice. Providers change their terms; check the linked official page before you act.
