Change contact information for an Azure billing account

This article helps you update contact information for a billing account in the Azure portal. The instructions to update the contact information vary by the billing account type. To learn more about billing accounts and identify your billing account type, see View billing accounts in Azure portal. An Azure billing account is separate from your Azure user account and Microsoft account.

If you want to update your Azure Active Directory user profile information, only a user administrator can make the changes. If you're not assigned the user administrator role, contact your user administrator. For more information about changing a user's profile, see Add or update a user's profile information using Azure Active Directory.

Sold-to address - The sold-to address is the address and the contact information of the organization or the individual, who is responsible for a billing account. It's displayed in all the invoices generated for the billing account.

Bill-to address - The bill-to address is the address and the contact information of the organization or the individual, who is responsible for the invoices generated for a billing account. For a billing account for a Microsoft Online Service Program (MOSP), there's one bill-to address, which is displayed on all the invoices generated for the account. For a billing account for a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), there's a bill-to address for each billing profile and it's displayed in the invoice generated for the billing profile.

Contact email address for service and marketing emails - You can specify an email address that's different from the email address that you sign in with to receive important billing, service, and recommendation-related notifications about your Azure account. Service notification emails, such as urgent security issues, price changes, or breaking changes to services in use by your account are always sent to your sign-in address.

Service and marketing emails

You're prompted in the Azure portal to verify or update your email address every 90 days. Microsoft sends emails to this email address with Azure account-related information for:

• Service notifications
• Security alerts
• Billing purposes
• Support
• Marketing communications
• Best practice recommendations, based on your Azure usage

Enter the email address where you want to receive communications about your account. By entering an email address, you're opting in to receive communications from Microsoft.

Change your contact email address

You can change your contact email address by using one of the following methods. Updating your contact email address doesn't update the email address that you sign in with.

1. If you're an account administrator for an MOSP account, follow the instructions in Update an MOSP billing account address and select Update contact info in the last step. Next, enter the new email address.
2. Go to the Contact information area in the Azure portal and enter the new email address.
3. In the Azure portal, select the icon with your initials or picture. Then, select the context menu (...). Next, select My Contact Information from the menu and enter the new email address.

Opt out of marketing emails

To opt out of receiving marketing emails:

1. Go to the request form to submit a request by using your profile email address. You'll receive a link by email to update your preferences.
2. Select the link to open the Manage communication permissions page. This page shows you the types of marketing communications that the email address is opted in to. Clear any selections that you want to opt out of, and then select Save.
   

When you opt out of marketing communications, you still receive service notifications, based on your account.

Update the email address that you sign in with

You can't update the email address that you use to access your account. However, if you have a billing account for an MOSP, you can sign up for another account using the new email address and transfer ownership of your subscriptions to the next account. For an MCA billing account, you can give the new email address permissions on your account.
