How to bypass YouTube identity verification failed with 0 attempts left 2026

To bypass a failed YouTube or AdSense identity verification when you have 0 attempts left in 2026, you must initiate a manual reset via the official Identity Verification Troubleshooter. Since the "Take Action" button disappears after three failed attempts, your primary solution is to contact YouTube Creator Support directly through the "Chat" or "Email" option in your YouTube Studio dashboard, provided you are part of the Partner Program. If those options are unavailable, use the AdSense help center's specific contact form for identity verification to request a manual document upload link. Ensure your government-issued ID is clearly scanned, not expired, and matches the name and address in your payments profile exactly. Avoid closing your AdSense account to start a new one, as this often triggers a duplicate account ban. Proactively reaching out to @TeamYouTube on X (formerly Twitter) can also help escalate your case to a human reviewer who can reset your attempts.
