If your company's name or address changes, this is reflected in the information attached to your DUNS number. Afterwards, you'll also need to verify the new information with Google.

When your official business name or address changes, Dun & Bradstreet, who issue the D-U-N-S number, automatically update their records. They then inform Google about it, who will ask you to verify your business name or address again. Google will notify you about this via e-mail and you will see a message like this in the Google Play Console:

A warning message showed in the Google Play Console that says "Your organization name or address is no longer verified".

To verify the new address, you need to fill out a form from Google. Since there are some things to pay attention to, please follow the instructions below to fill out the form correctly.

First, you need to find the correct Google account.

Begin by opening the Google Play Console.

Now click the developer account icon in the top right corner. You'll then see the e-mail address of the account you use in the Google Play Console at the bottom of the popup that opens:

A popup in the Google Play Console that allows the user to switch between Google Developer accounts.

Now, open the link to the form.

On that page, click your Google account icon at the top right of the screen and select the account with the e-mail address you found in the previous step.
