I just received an email from Google demanding that I complete an advertiser verification within 30 days. If not done in that time frame, my advertising will be stopped. I am stuck on the very first requirement for a registration document. They list six accepted documents and I don't believe I have any that they have listed. I have been an advertiser on Google for decades and this is a first for me. Has anyone had any experience with this
May every day be magic!

I recently had to get verified to run google ads in others countries. But Google did it for me through adsense and that may be different than your situation. Have you tried going through the steps yet? If you start the process it may be that you don’t have to upload anything other than normal ID items.

“”””To be verified with Google Ads, you must provide proof of identity, business registration documents, proof of address, tax registration documents, website ownership verification, and any industry-specific documents”””””.

Sounds to me like they just want to know that you're who you say you are. Simple id's should do it.
The business ID could be a past tax return or something else showing you were paid.

Couldn't edit but let me add that you could type up a letter saying your magic business is not required to register as a business locally. And upload that with some personal ID like driver's license, a bill with your home address, etc.

Good Luck with it.

Thanks, Tom, for your explanation. The problem with my account was it was listed as an "organization" years ago instead of a sole proprietorship. As a result, Google was demanding documents which I could not provide. With the help of a fellow magic friend, I was able to change my Google account from an organization to a sole proprietorship and after doing that, all I had to do was upload a copy of my I.D. (driver license) to become completely and immediately verified. Phew! If anyone else has this problem, hopefully my experience with solving the issue will help.
May every day be magic!
