Take note developers, Google says those making Android apps for Play Store will have to verify their address

Google developer account owners will be able to declare their account type and verify their contact details starting today. However, it will not be mandatory for all users just yet, but it will be required for any account owners who want to update their contact details.

Google is rolling out new security measures for developers on Android. To improve developer security on the Play Store, Google is asking Android developers to abide by 2-Step Verification and new identity requirements later this year. Developers will be required to provide their email address and phone number along with the following information -- their email account type and if it is personal or belongs to an organisation, ac contact name, user’s physical address, verification of their email address and phone number.
