Enrollment blocked by trust verification - cannot publish Excel add-in
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Microsoft 365 and Copilot program to publish an Excel add-in on AppSource. My enrollment is being blocked by the automated trust check immediately after submitting company information. Reference number: 715-123160 Transaction ID: 9c3fc538-f972-4ea3-bdd1-9056cc9ea9f2 Correlation ID: eb079fa4-1be5-4eca-8458-ac7eb738eacd Because the enrollment was blocked at this stage, no Partner Center workspace was created, so I cannot open a support ticket through the normal method. Please escalate this to the Partner Trust & Safety / Vetting team for manual review. Thank you.Problem with PL-7008 Labs
We recently had a problem with the PL-7008 training course. In the latest Courseware Title Plan, the PL-7008 training course is listed as having Labs (ALH status in the Lab Hosting column) and not BYOS, but in the GoDeploy and Extrem offer labs, there are no license as shown in the screenshots below. What exactly is the situation with this course and where can we find the correct information ? Thank you
Application closed by Support after following their instructions: Partner ID 7114215
The below email from Microsoft Support was sent to me, instructing me that I needed to update the address on the account from the mailing address to the physical address that matches the Articles of Incorporation. Dear Luke: Thank you for providing additional documents to our team for account verification. Upon review, we identified that the documents do not match the information you entered for your account. ADDRESS MISMATCHED FOR Business Verification If it is not possible to provide additional documentation, please update your account information to match any legal documents already provided or your official Company registration details. Your account details: Company Name: REDACTED Address: REDACTED If you need additional information to update, your profile, you can find it here. All submitted documents must have an expiration date that is at least two months in the future. I then responded with the below email, confirming the change per the instructions. After this, my account was closed and Microsoft support has given me generic templated responses with no detail as to why. I had only used 2 out of my 3 verification attempts for the last step and I now cannot restart the process. Request: Please reopen my application so I can complete verification once my updated documents are available, or advise on the correct path to do so. Thank you for the clarification I have updated our Partner Center legal address from REDACTED (mailing address) to (REDACTED) to match our Delaware Certificate of Incorporation. This is our official Delaware registered office address. Do I now need to re-upload the certificate of incorporation, or what are the next steps?Marketplace trainings and events calendar (updated 06/05/26)

Account Suspended Despite Compliance – Seeking Clarification and Reinstatement
Hello Microsoft Community, My company’s Partner Center account currently shows a Suspended status for both the Indirect Reseller and Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider programs, even though we believe we’ve met all requirements. What we’ve done: Completed all security requirements (MFA enabled, security contact designated) Verified business and legal information is up to date Ensured there are no outstanding payments or compliance issues We received a notice about CSP indirect reseller eligibility (USD 1,000 revenue requirement), but our partner confirms our license spend exceeds this threshold. Our questions: Why is the account still suspended if we’ve addressed the stated requirements? Is there a hidden or unaddressed compliance issue? What specific steps must we follow to have the suspension lifted? Can Microsoft reinstate the account once we provide evidence of compliance? We’re unable to perform critical operations like assigning licenses or accessing partner benefits while suspended. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Any guidance from Microsoft moderators or the community would be greatly appreciated.HELP!!!! I am so fustrasted with Microsoft Vetting Process

Hi All I am founding a training company with a partner . We would like to launch our business soon. We are now MS partner . My questions are below : 1) How can we display on our website that we are MS partner? (we are not allowe to use logos at this stage : this is my understanding ). 2) Are we allowed to teach students on their own sandboxes ? or do I have to hire a Lab ?Request: Reopen rejected MAICPP verification - MPN 7117566 - owner-operator LLC, remediation done
Hello Partner Compliance team, I am requesting an escalation to reopen and re-verify my Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (MAICPP) enrollment. My application was rejected at the Employment Verification stage and the application has been closed with the banner indicating "no appeals available." However, I have completed substantial remediation since the rejection, and I am requesting a manual review by the Partner Trust & Safety / Vetting team. ACCOUNT DETAILS - Legal entity: Smith Computer Services LLC - State of registration: Illinois, USA - IL SOS File Number: 17193902 - DUNS Number: 142698584 - MPN ID: 7117566 - Tenant: SmithComputerServices.onmicrosoft.com - Business website: https://smithcomputerservices.com - Primary contact: Jamieson Smith, Partner / Member of LLC (please reach out via forum DM for direct contact info) VERIFICATION STATUS - Identity Verification: Passed (completed via IDVS) - Employment Verification: Rejected - Overall status: Rejected (application closed) - The Legal Info page Verification Summary shows "Get support" only; no Fix Now or Resolve path is available in the UI. LIKELY ROOT CAUSE OF EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION FAILURE I believe Employment Verification failed for two compounding reasons: 1. DOMAIN/IDENTITY MISALIGNMENT (now resolved): At the time of submission, the tenant used only the default .onmicrosoft.com domain, and my primary contact email used a custom domain that was not yet associated with the tenant. This is a known signal that Microsoft's vetting system flags as inconsistent. 2. OWNER-OPERATOR LLC STRUCTURE (structural): I am a Partner / Member of the LLC, not a W-2 employee. As the principal of an owner-operated LLC, I do not appear in third-party employment verification databases (such as The Work Number / Equifax), because as a Member I receive owner distributions rather than W-2 income. This is standard for new small businesses but appears to be a gap in the automated Employment Verification process. There is no separate "employer" to verify me against because I am the principal. REMEDIATION COMPLETED AFTER REJECTION 1. Added smithcomputerservices.com as a verified custom domain in the Microsoft 365 tenant (status: healthy, default). 2. Changed my Global Administrator UPN to align with the verified custom business domain, so the admin login, primary contact email, business domain, and live business website are now fully aligned. 3. Confirmed the business is verifiable in third-party registries (DUNS matches Illinois Secretary of State filing for SMITH COMPUTER SERVICES LLC). 4. Confirmed the live business website is hosted at the matching custom domain. REQUEST Please escalate to the Partner Trust & Safety / Vetting team to: 1. Reopen the rejected MAICPP application for MPN ID 7117566 2. Trigger a fresh re-evaluation now that the domain alignment is in place 3. Treat this as an owner-operator LLC case, where principal verification (not employee verification) is appropriate 4. If additional documentation is required, please specify exactly what document type and where to upload it DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE ON REQUEST (via DM or support ticket) Appropriate for an owner-operator LLC: - IL Articles of Organization (shows me as Member/Organizer) - IRS EIN Confirmation Letter (CP 575) listing me as Responsible Party - LLC Operating Agreement - Business bank account documentation - Domain registration receipt (Squarespace) showing me as registrant - Government-issued photo ID Thank you for your time. I am building a small managed services provider and need MAICPP active so I can proceed to CSP Indirect Reseller enrollment to support my first client. Jamieson Smith Partner, Smith Computer Services LLCNew community feature: automatic follow link for community sites
