Google is rolling out identity verification for Android developer accounts, with a regional deadline of September 30, 2026 (Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand across Play, Galaxy Store, OPPO, HONOR, Xiaomi GetApps, Palm, and V-Appstore) and a global rollout in 2027. This is a walkthrough and a checklist, not account access: you decide, you submit, you keep control of your account.

Frequently asked
What is Android developer verification?
It's Google's identity-verification requirement for developer accounts, rolling out by region starting with a September 30, 2026 deadline for Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, then globally in 2027. Details are on Google's own page, linked above.
Do I need Full or Limited Distribution?
It depends on how many devices you're testing on and whether you plan to publish broadly. We walk through the tradeoffs on the call instead of guessing from a form.
What is a D‑U‑N‑S number and do I need one?
It's a free business identifier some organization account types need. It can take up to 28 days to receive, which is why we help you check whether you need one and start early.
Will you log into my Play Console account?
No. We never ask for or use your login credentials. You do the submitting; we do the preparing.
What happens after the 45-minute call?
You get a written summary of next steps. We stay reachable for follow-up questions until Google confirms your verification or 30 days pass, whichever comes first.
What if Google doesn't confirm within 30 days?
We tell you honestly where things stand and what, if anything, is still pending on Google's side. We don't control their review timeline.
