Legal Info Page Not Loading – 40+ Days, No Support Resolution
Hello, I'm posting here hoping to get some visibility on an issue that has been unresolved for over 40 days despite multiple support interactions. Issue: The Legal Information page under Account Settings in Partner Center does not load. The page simply spins indefinitely. This prevents me from updating my company name. Impact: This is blocking customer onboarding and causing direct financial harm to my business. Due to this error, our account remains unverified, which is preventing us from launching our web application. What I've done: Opened support ticket #2512180010000713 on 18 December 2025 Provided HAR file and PSR recording as requested Submitted escalation request (was merged into original ticket without action) Support response: Every 2 days I receive an identical message: "Your issue is under review currently. As soon as we have an update, we will inform you." No actual investigation, no timeline, no resolution. Is anyone from Microsoft able to look into this? Has anyone else experienced this issue or have advice on how to escalate effectively? Thank you.
Identity Verification Rejected in Partner Center – What Are the Next Steps?
Hello, our Microsoft Partner Center identity verification was rejected with the following message: 'Based on the information you have provided, your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification. There are no appeals available, and the application has been closed.' We understand that this application is closed and that no appeal is available for this verification attempt. In addition, we are currently unable to create a support ticket in Partner Center for this verification issue, as the option to submit a ticket is not available to us. Could you please clarify: - What are the recommended next steps after receiving this message? - Is reapplying the correct action in this situation, and if so, what is the proper way to proceed? - Is there a required or recommended waiting period before reapplying? Thank you for your guidance.
Very Negative Experience With Microsoft Partner Program
Since two months I am trying to verify my account, after countless attempts and errors and automatic rejections, finally I got authorized. I want to update my tax profile so I can send the add in, guess what Microsoft cant find my EIN although I sent official EIN number. After three weeks I sent another ticket and instead of finding a solution for the EIN number issue, they responded that there is a problem with account verification which is already approved!!! I dont know what is happening here total mess...
Unable to Register - "Legal Entity Already Exists" Error - Cannot Access Support
Hello, I'm trying to register for the Microsoft Partner Network to obtain an MPN ID for Azure app publisher verification, but I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation. The Problem: When registering through Partner Center, I receive this error: "A legal entity matching the request payload already exists when creating the legal entity" The Catch-22: I cannot create a support ticket because: - Partner Center help form requires selecting a workspace - I cannot create/access a workspace without completing registration - I cannot complete registration due to the duplicate entity error What I've Tried: - Searching for existing accounts within my organization - no one knows of any - Attempting to create a support ticket - blocked by the workspace requirement - Looking for alternative support channels - all redirect back to Partner Center What I Need: Either help locating an existing account for my company, obtaining the existing MPN ID, or resolving the duplicate registration issue. Has anyone successfully resolved this? Is there a direct contact at Microsoft Partner Support who can help? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Unable to pass Employment Verifcation step in Partner Center
Hello everyone, I am stuck at the Employment Verification step while trying to enroll in the Microsoft Partner Center. I have already submitted the required documents, including the domain invoice and the assignment letter, but Microsoft responded with: "Based on the information you have provided to date, we have determined that your organization does not currently meet the requirements to pass verification." This leaves me very confused, as the reply does not explain what exactly is missing or what additional documents are required. I have carefully checked the documentation, but there is no clear guidance. As a company focusing on IT security, this is extremely frustrating. We recently shifted from Linux to Windows development, and without a Microsoft Partner account we are unable to proceed with building kernel-level antivirus solutions for our users. This has a devastating impact on our business. Could anyone please share their experience or advise on what specific documents or requirements Microsoft usually expects in order to pass Employment Verification? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Legal-entities and sub-units in Microsoft Partner Center terms
Hi, I represent several partners with Microsoft, and we are fast growing. In our enterprise, we do as several others, we move around locations, merge them, and restructure to improve efficiency and quality. Recently Microsoft also notified us to update and improve several of our MPN/CSP identifiers with updated information, which resulted in this post about missing features and hidden Microsoft data not available in Partner Center. Starting out as a partner, you add your company in Partner Center, creating your PGA and first PLA account. Your PGA now refers to your legal entity, and your PLA is now a sub-unit under your PGA. So far so good (for a CSP business, you have your PGA be the MPN id and your PLA the CSP id). As time goes by, your business grows and you start buying other MS partner companies. In comes account merge in partner center to the rescue. This will merge your MPN (not CSP, I know, atleast not in terms of your GDAP or customer relationships, but everything else), so that all your competencies, reports and information is updated accordingly. The company you have bought and merged now still has their CSP business, but reporting under your PGA. Both their original PGA and PLA accounts are now PLA under you PGA. So far this seems to be good, but now you are missing out on some data hidden internally in Microsoft, that is nowhere to be seen, and impossible to update: this original merged PGA still refers to the original legal-entity, and the PLA is still NOT connected to your PGA, but the original PGA, which is now a PLA under your PGA. So, something like, Your PGA --> The merged PGA (which is now a PLA) --> The merged PLA. Confused yet? Now, this merged company should at some point in time become something else, maybe a department or separate location of your company. Or maybe you even move that as a department or location below some other company you have in your enterprise portfolio. Now comes the headache of updating your CSP - PLA identifiers with correct legal information. There is currently nowhere you can read what PLA id-s are considered as legal entities, and nowhere your PLA says which legal entity they are connected to. Even filing this with MS partner support is a no-go, this information is hidden so far behind support/MCAIPP/CSP/direct/indirect/vetting/engineering/developers and god knows what, that it is currently not possible to update any of it. Not even getting to read the structure of the identifiers is possible. I hope Microsoft can understand this is a big compliance issue over time. How many tax forms or payout accounts do you need? How many are using the same legal info for the same tax forms? Regardless of being a direct or indirect partner, who should really receive the bill? Who ends up as the owner of the different agreements? (I know this usually works out one way or another, but how many hours could have been saved on partner support if this was not a headache?) We need to be able to see where each identifier is connected in terms of sub-units and legal-entities. Whether by self-service or MS partner support, we need to be able to provide updates on this structure. We need to be able to change any PLA between being a legal entity or a sub-unit, and telling which legal-entity owns the sub-unit or parent legal-entity. Different partners have different setups, we have an enterprise setup where one company fully owns all the others and plan to fully merge them within a single legal entity, but still owned by the enterprise. Others have separate companies working together sharing Microsoft competencies and benefits under one umbrella. Having a way to let Microsoft know about structural changes and having this information visible and correct in partner center is crucial when working as a partner over time. Bonus tip: Most countries, even Norway has officially available records on all companies registered, on official website or by official APIs - by looking up any company registration id, you can have the 100% accurate information for all legal entities, and all sub-units, we even give you the company registration id inside partner center for your benefit.
