Partnership Application Process
- Feb 20, 2026
The process can take some time, I've heard up to two weeks. You can also submit a support ticket if you wish:

Standard Verification Time for Partner Applications
Hey there! I totally feel your frustration. I've been through a similar wait before, and honestly, 6 days is still within the 'normal' window for Microsoft's manual review. Sometimes their compliance team gets a backlog, especially if there’s a high volume of new applications.
From what I’ve seen, it usually takes anywhere from 7 to 14 business days. While you wait, I’d suggest double-checking if there are any pending 'Action Required' notifications in your Partner Center dashboard-sometimes a small document verification can stall the whole thing without a clear alert.
You might find these official resources helpful for tracking the exact steps of the verification process:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/enroll/verification-responses - This explains why some accounts get stuck in 'Pending' status.
- https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/supporthttps://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/support - If it crosses the 10-day mark, you should definitely open a ticket here.
Hang in there, it’s likely just a manual queue issue!
