Google Ads can now ask for a second document to verify your address.

What Google accepts:

a second government ID showing your address
a utility, phone or internet bill from the last 60 days
a bank statement from the last 60 days

Watch out: ID photos must be taken with your phone’s own camera app. Screenshots or photos from other apps may be rejected.

For agencies: you can’t upload documents for several advertisers in one file. Each client separately, through the Ads UI.

Right now this only applies to South Sudan. But Google says more countries may follow.
My tip: check now that the name and address in your account match your bills and bank statements exactly.

An old address or a missing middle name can block verification. And without verification, your ads don’t run.
