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!
Partner Center enrollment blocked — Trust Code 715-123160, requesting manual review
Our company Veri-Tech, Inc. (DUNS 144980978, EIN 41-4881091) is a newly incorporated ISV building a Microsoft 365 compliance SaaS platform. We are attempting to enroll in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program on our veri-tech.net tenant but enrollment is blocked by the trust check. We were previously using the domain Veri-Docs.net and suspect that may be one of the issues. We still own that domain but migrated to Veri-Tech.net. We cannot open a support ticket because the workspace dropdown is empty (known issue for blocked enrollments).

Business account vetting
Hello, My business account was already fully vetted and suddenly it went again to "Non-compliant". I've opened a support ticket a month ago (#2602260040002250) but so far I only got generic "we are looking into it" replies. This is now severely impacting my business because I can't publish my product on the Microsoft Store, which means I'm actively losing revenue. Can someone please look into it and tell me at least what the status is and a rough timeline for the solution? If no solution can be found any time soon, I'll have to move away from the Microsoft Store and find other means of distribution. Thank you and kind regards, MartinMicrosoft runs on trust - renewal blocked – order fails before payment (error 715-123160)
Hi, My context is the following, I have a US based LLC because my work is centered around Dynamics 365F&O and my customers are not in Colombia, but in the US. I am an ISV and have a marketplace offer in AppSource. I am an SMB. I can survive thanks to my consulting income. I'm trying to sell my ISVs as an MS partner but I haven't been able to land a deal yet. But I run my business from Colombia. But I have US Banks, US Customers, US Invoices, etc. This is a completely legal and compliant setup. I made the mistake when I enrolled as a Microsoft Partner of giving my US details instead of my Colombian details. I thought it made perfect sense, I had no idea I would be flagged for this. I have had problems with my partner center ever since, I can't get approved as a Developer. When I try to renew my Partner Success Core Benefits I get this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/compliance/integrityIf you require further information please https://partner.microsoft.com/partner/support with reference number: XXX-XXXXX and transaction ID: XXXX. I opened up a support ticket, because my renewal is up. And at the very end of a week of back and forth I get this: Microsoft runs on trust, and therefore we engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes across third party individuals and organizations. As a result of our internal processes, we are unable to proceed with your request. Please note that this decision cannot be changed by opening a new support case. Thank you for your understanding What can I do? I know other people are facing the same issue.
URGENT: Blocked from Partner Center Enrollment ("Runs on trust") - Support portals inaccessible
Hello Microsoft Partner Community Team, I am urgently seeking assistance with an automated enrollment block. We are trying to register our business, Connect In Cloud Ltd (UK Companies House: 09550508), for the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, but we have triggered the "Microsoft runs on trust" security block. I am completely unable to raise a standard support ticket because my Partner Center dashboard shows no active workspaces, meaning the support form will not allow me to submit a request. Furthermore, the standard business phone support lines drop the call after instructing me to use the broken portal. I need a moderator to please escalate this directly to the Vetting and Enrollment team so I can provide my business documentation, verify my identity, and have this block cleared. Here are my exact error details from the blocked screen: Error: Microsoft runs on trust... your request was blocked. Reference Number: 715-123160 Transaction ID: 4b89b272-50fe-4f37-8f5f-15f539cbaed0 Correlation ID: f13ebdd3-5d9d-4b45-a31d-0049e3489a11 Thank you in advance for your help in getting an internal support ticket opened for us
Ongoing "Identitiy Verification" failure without a change to verify
Hi everyone, I'm a managing director of a German GmbH trying to enroll in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. My verification has been permanently rejected at the Identity Verification step — but I was never asked to verify my identity. The Problem I never received any prompt to complete the AU10TIX identity check. No email, no Microsoft Authenticator notification, no link, no button — nothing. Despite this, the Partner Center shows Identity Verification as failed. The banner now states that my organization does not meet the requirements, no further appeals are available, and my application has been closed. I was rejected for a step I was never given the opportunity to perform. What I Observe Every time I update my legal information in Partner Center, the status briefly switches to "Pending" for a few minutes, then immediately flips back to "Rejected." This looks like an automated pre-check is failing before the any visible Identity Verification process is even triggered — but the UI shows Identity Verification as the failed step regardless. What I've Already Done Opened a support ticket — no response yet Verified that all company data is consistent across Partner Center, DUNS/D&B, domain WHOIS, and the German commercial register (Handelsregister) Confirmed that my Authenticator app is linked to the correct work account and checked spam folders — no invitation was ever sent What I Need The Identity Verification step needs to be actually triggered so I can complete the identity check. I have not used any manual appeals as the system declined me before I ever reached the actual identity check. I have my German ID card ready and can complete the verification immediately. I would appreciate any help from the community team or anyone who has experienced a similar situation. Happy to provide any additional details via DM or through my open support ticket. Thank you!Ongoing Issue with Employment Verification in Microsoft Partner Program
Hello I am experiencing a persistent issue with the Employment Verification process in the Microsoft Partner and Reseller programs. When attempting to resolve the issue by clicking “Fix Now” after a rejected verification, I am continuously redirected back to the Identity Verification step. Even after completing the identity verification, I am sent back to Employment Verification, only to be rejected again. This creates a loop, and every time I click “Fix Now,” I am not given the option to upload any documents, but instead, I am redirected to the previous step, making it impossible to proceed. This issue has been ongoing for 50 days, and I have contacted Microsoft Support many times. Unfortunately, I continue to receive the same generic responses, asking for the same documents to be uploaded. After submitting them, there is no further follow-up, and the issue remains unresolved. It seems as though I am receiving automated responses without any real resolution. What adds to the frustration is the contradiction in the process: The exact same documents I submitted for Developer Verification, which were successfully processed and authorized, are being rejected for the Partner and Reseller programs, despite being identical in every way. Given the significant impact this issue is having on my business, I am reaching out to the community for assistance. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem, or is there any guidance on how to resolve this? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.

Issue Accepting Microsoft Partner Agreement
Hello, having an issue accepting the cloud partner agreement while enrolling in Partner Center. I am currently applying for our company's driver signing permissions on Microsoft. While filling out information on the following webpage: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/account/exp/enrollnow/partner, I encountered an issue. When the webpage pulled our company name from Dun & Bradstreet, Microsoft deemed our company name invalid. I noticed that there is a comma in the name, as shown in the screenshot. However, when we applied for a signature from DigiCert, we used the same company name with the comma as the signing name. Therefore, I cannot remove the comma at this point because if I do, Microsoft might reject the signed certification file later due to a mismatch in the company name. Could you help resolve this issue?
