Google has implemented stricter identity verification for new Google Voice numbers to curb abuse and meet regulatory expectations. Users must submit valid government-issued ID that passes automated checks or manual review before messaging and calling are enabled; repeated failures can permanently disable the number. The document outlines submission requirements and possible outcomes: instant approval, manual review delays, resubmission, or final rejection.
