Thread: Adsense Payee Information

How do you change the Country in the payee information section of the Adsense account settings?

I can edit everything else in the address except the country

as far as i know you can't edit that field

That could be a problem for me in the future.

I suppose that you should contact adsense-support@google.com and see what they have to say.

I guess I'll have to get in touch with them then.

Why do they have to make everything so difficult ?!

Because they care more about making the IRS happy than about making their customers. business partners, and advertisers happy.

Which is funny, because Google's AdSense department legally moved to Ireland to avoid U.S. taxes.

Yep. When I moved to UK for 6 months, I was thinking of changing my country to UK in Adsense, as at that time they have only sent cheques to my home. I contacted them and this was the response I got:

"Thanks for your email. I understand you'd like to change the country on
your AdSense account and start receiving payments via EFT. For tax and
security reasons, we are unable to change the country or territory field
of an existing payment address. Therefore, if you would like to change
your country/territory field, it will be necessary for you to submit a new
application with your updated mailing address and eventually close your
existing account. Once your original account has been closed, we will then
work with you to transfer your unpaid earnings.

Prior to initiating this process, please be aware that the account
settings and performance statistics associated with your original account
cannot be transferred to your new account. Consequently, you will need to
update your web pages with the ad code generated by your new account and
duplicate any existing channel settings.

Additionally, you must also be able to receive a Personal Identification
Number (PIN) via standard mail at the new address that you submit.

To help ease this transition, you will not be required to close your
existing account prior to submitting a new application. This will enable
you to gradually update the ad code on your web pages and minimize any
loss of revenue. However, please note that we will not be able to transfer
your unpaid earnings until your original account has been closed."

That's going to be a problem for me too in the next three months. So does that mean I would have to change the codes on all my sites and every other settings

Boy, that's way too tiring job then!
