Frequently Asked Questions:
What is this policy violation?
Google restricts advertising for government-related services like passports, visas, driver's licenses, and business registration to prevent user exploitation. Scammers frequently target people seeking official paperwork, so legitimate businesses must follow stricter rules than most advertisers.

Why was my legitimate business flagged?
Google's system flags ads that could confuse users into thinking you're a government entity or that you're offering something misleading. Even small wording choices or design elements resembling government branding can trigger disapproval.

What certification options are available?
You can qualify as a government provider (federal, state, or local), an authorized non-government provider, or apply for exclusion from the policy scope.

What documentation do I need to get certified?
Your domain must be linked from an official government website as authorized, or you need documentation like a contract or official letter from the government agency. You'll also complete Google's Advertiser Identity Verification Program with your business legal name and address.

What happens if my account is suspended?
Google issues at least 7 days' notice before suspension. During this window, you can correct your ads or apply for certification. If suspended, you can still appeal through the notification center and Policy Manager.
