My channel has reached more than 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours, and has been approved for the YouTube Partner Program. I was very thankful for the success because I was able to monetize all my video content, show ads to all viewers, and earn money as a Content Creator. After 3 weeks, my identity was verified, and I finished setting up the payment method in my AdSense account. Google AdSense sent me a notification of my Personal Identification Number (PIN) mailer on December 14, 2022, to the payment address I provided in AdSense.
According to Google AdSense, it usually takes 3 weeks to get the PIN in the mail from the local post office. The Philippine Postal Corporation ( PHLPost) is the official courier partner of Google in the Philippines for the delivery of AdSense PIN to all Content Creators. It took 7 weeks before the AdSense PIN arrived at the local post office.
My ads will stop serving in my channel if I don't use the PIN to verify my address within 4 months from the date on which the first PIN was mailed.

How to claim the AdSense PIN? Should you need to pay a courier fee?
How long does my Google AdSense PIN take to arrive in the Philippines at the local PHLPost office?
I went 3 times to the PHLPost office in our District for follow-up on AdSense PIN. I gave my mobile number to the staff in the office to call me in case the AdSense PIN arrived. Last February 8, 2023, at 1:00 pm, the staff of PHLPost informed me through a call that they had already received the PIN in their office. I was delighted at that time because it turned my dream into reality to receive my first payment from Google AdSense.
I went to the PHLPost satellite office and claimed the PIN without a courier fee. Now, let me explain how I did it for address verification:
While standing outside the PHLPost office, I opened the PIN mailer, got the 6-digit code, and entered the PIN in my AdSense account, which was successfully verified after 2 minutes. I received my first payment from Google LLC USA, and it was not bad for a newbie creator like me. Who would give you that amount of money just by making video content as an extra source of income?
Having a PIN is necessary and mandatory to get your address verified. The logic is that whoever has created an AdSense account and provided the address will be the one who will receive the PIN. If the PIN reaches someone else without the knowledge of the person who created the account, then this means that the account is compromised or hacked.
Therefore, I advise all newbie Content Creators to always follow up on their AdSense PIN at the local PHLPost office in your Barangay. You can follow what I did since it was crucial to have a PIN.
