Why is Gemini Notebook not available in my country?
Last verified: October 27, 2026
As of October 2026, Gemini Notebook works only in Google-supported countries and for users above the age of consent in their country. The message usually means your region, account age verification, or a school, work or Family Link account policy blocks it. A VPN breaks Google terms and does not fix account-level blocks.
In more detail
Google says Gemini Notebook is available in the browser to users above the applicable age in supported countries and territories, and the mobile app can have different availability. Common fixes: confirm your country is on Google's supported list; verify your age in your Google Account; if it is a school or work account, ask the admin, because Workspace admins can turn Gemini Notebook off; and check Family Link restrictions. Some features, such as the @Gemini Notebook connected app, are off by default in the EEA rather than unavailable. Notebook Toolkit cannot unlock Gemini Notebook where Google blocks it, but its library, capture and export work in any country.
| Cause | Fix |

| Unsupported country | None; check Google's supported-country list |
| Age not verified | Verify your age in your Google Account |
