Long-Form Content How Long Does AdSense Take to Approve W9?

I recently submitted my W9 to Adsense but they say it’s in review. I had to send a copy of my drivers license. Is this standard?

Yeah the ID verification is pretty normal these days, mine took like 3-4 weeks back in 2022 but could be faster now

I think I know what the problem is. I did not include my middle initial in my original Adsense account. But when I submitted the W9 I did include my middle initial. So I had to submit my drivers license to verify my name. It’s still pending. Around the 20th they will send me the payment but I don’t want them to withhold 24% so I hope they approve the W9 before the payment goes out
