Google Play Console personal account

Is there a way to register to Google Play Console without giving your real home address? I mean with a personal account. Because of privacy, I don't want my real address shown on Google Play Console.

business account with your registered place of business according to official registration, and verification, hopefully it is a legit mailing post box or virtual address is what you need.

Yes, but the problem is that I want to use a personal account instead of a business account. And for payments it needs a full address. I don't mind giving the district number, but it's something different giving the exact place where I live. To be honest, I don't trust Google after all these years. That doesn't mean that now I need a Google Play Console account.

Nah mate, u can't bypass GG's identity verification on personal accounts anymore. if u use a fake address, ur account gets suspended during KYC verification (for sure). the only way possible here (since u want to keep ur home address private) is to register an LLC or local business entity and use a commercial virtual office address instead

Yes, I'm seeing that it's complicated to avoid showing your home address with a personal account. I found a possible way, but you have to pay monthly for the service. In fact, you gave the solution on your post, and it's hiring a virtual office address. According to ChatGPT and Gemini It seems to be possible to have a virtual office in your home town with a personal account and paying between 15 and 30 dollars every month, but I have to ask. There are three places (workspaces) where I live, and I'm going to send them an email to be sure that this can be done. I'll let everyone know as soon as they answer me.

the address shown publicly on your store listing is the developer contact field in the console, and it is separate from the address on your payments profile. so a mail forwarding or virtual office address can go in the public one while the real one stays where only google sees it
the catch is that mail has to genuinely reach you, they do send verification letters and the deadline is not generous. pick a provider that scans and forwards rather than a cheap box you check once a month, that part is where people lose the account

Check if Google accepts a separate mailing address in your country, and verify what details are publicly visible.
