Google Play Identity Verification: Everything You Need to Know

Ғылым және технология

Starting in April 2024, Google requires all developer accounts on the Google Play Store to verify their personal and business identities. Some of the necessary information could read like borderline legal jargon.
In this video, I'll share everything you need to know about how to verify your developer account, whether as an individual or an organization. I'll also dive into the mysterious D-U-N-S number, explain what it is, whether you need one, and how to get it.

    "You'll be able to complete account verification in Play Console 60 days before your chosen deadline" - I don't understand, what could be the purpose of this. Does the process involve scheduling a video call or something labour intensive? If not, you'd think that Google of all companies would be able to build a HTML form that can scale to their number of developers in order to collect the needed info.

    Great video! I have a question if i upload an android app that has admob for ads in the goole play store will my Legal name and my address visible if i create an individual account? These are sensitive information. I mean if both are shown worldwide you may be in danger.

    Yes, confirmed. Google showing your Full Legal name and full address even your application is free but contain ads(Google only notify they will show only country / region but full only for paid and app purchase use). This week, I already got bad experience , i got a threat from some people and all bad friends knew what I am doing and where I am living. Indie Developer's Life by using Google is very difficult and risky for now. Consider moving to other play store or other platform like Huawei or some others. Sharing real information and verified only with Google is really fine. But share with all others is really risky for my daily life and working as part time hobbyist Indie developer.
