To verify your account and payment, go to payments.google.com and log in with your Google account. If verification is needed, you’ll see an Alerts(bell) icon. Click it, then select Verify.
Here’s how to verify your account and payment methods at payments.google.com, the official portal for Google Pay and Google Payments:
🔍 How to Verify Your Account
1. Sign In to Google Payments
Go to payments.google.com and log in with your Google account.
If verification is needed, you’ll see an Alerts (bell) icon. Click it, then select Verify.
If there are no alerts, navigate to Payment methods to check each card or bank account.
2. Choose a Verification Method
Google typically offers two options:
A. Temporary Charge with Code
Click Get code.
A small charge (under $1.95 USD) appears in your bank statement labeled “GOOGLE.”
The last 6 digits of that transaction are your verification code.
Enter the code and click Verify.
Refunds usually process within 30 days.
B. Upload ID or Documents
If identity verification is required, you may be prompted to:
Upload a government-issued ID (passport, license)
Provide proof of address (like a recent utility bill)
Submit an image of the payment method (e.g. card)
Tips for document uploads:
Ensure all text is clear and in color.
Show full document—no cropping or glare.
You may redact sensitive data (like full account numbers)—leave only last 4 digits visible.
Wait a few days, as review may take time.

ℹ️ Why Verification Happens
Google may ask you to verify if you:
Add a new payment method
Make a suspicious or high-value transaction
Need to comply with regulations
Access certain content or services
✅ Troubleshooting Tips
No alerts visible? Go to Payment methods and click Verify next to each item needing verification.
Code not showing? Wait a few days—it can take up to 7 days to appear.
Uploaded documents? Allow a few days for review.
Keep information matched: details on your Google Payments profile should align with your ID and billing address.
If stuck, clear your browser cache and cookies, or use a different browser/device.
⏳ If Verification Fails or Needs Follow‑Up
Some users report that after upload, verification remains “in progress” for weeks or requires contacting support—especially if flagging suspicious activity or large purchases.
If that happens:
Use the Help/Troubleshooter link in Google Payments.
Contact Google Support via the provided form or support channels.
You may need to re-upload documents or provide clarification.
