Update to Google Ads Advertiser Verification Circumventing Systems Policy (November 2025)
If you're required to complete advertiser verification or business operations verification, this update is CRITICAL.
Google has released new guidance (November 2025) about how incorrect verification submissions are now treated under the Circumventing Systems policy.
This includes new examples, stricter interpretation, and increased suspension risk for anything Google views as false, edited, or misleading.
StubGroup CEO John Horn explains exactly what Google changed and how to avoid accidental violations during the verification process.
You will learn:
-Why Google added a new subsection to the Circumventing Systems policy
-How photo ID and business document submissions can trigger suspensions
-What Google considers “modified,” “redacted,” or “inauthentic”
-Why even innocent edits can lead to false positive flags
-How automated systems evaluate documents
-How to safely prepare and submit everything Google asks for
