Identity Verification Rejected in Partner Center – What Are the Next Steps?

I used copilot to do a search, and this is what was shared back as I'm not an expert here but want to try and help:

What Microsoft explicitly states (from Partner Center guidance and Q&A):

• When an application is closed with no appeal, that decision only applies to that specific submission
• Microsoft does not publish a required cooldown or time-based delay before reapplying
• Partners may reapply as soon as they are able to fully meet the verification requirements

What’s strongly recommended in practice:

• Do not reapply immediately unless something has materially changed
• Reapplying without fixing the underlying issue almost always results in another rejection
• Microsoft guidance consistently emphasizes correcting all legal, business, domain, and employment verification gaps first, then submitting a new application
