How to set up a Google payments profile

Legal address, profile country and card billing are separate details.

Updated

Check your current profile

A card’s issuing country does not automatically become your residence or legal address. Google uses that information for verification and taxes. Payment-method eligibility depends on the product and profile.

  1. Sign in to payments.google.com with the Google account used for the purchase.
  2. Open Settings, select the relevant profile and check its country, legal address and payment methods.
  3. Add the card or update its billing using SafePay details. Your profile’s legal address must remain accurate.

If you genuinely change country

An existing payments profile’s country cannot simply be edited. For a move, travel or temporary residence, follow Google’s official process for a new profile; consider separate Google Play and existing subscription requirements. Do not create a fictitious profile just to attach a card.
