What criteria is required to pass Identity Validation for a Trusted Signing Account? My submissions are repeatedly failing

Question

I am trying to implement signing for software I plan to release on Windows, but the continuous failures to verify my business's identity are blocking me from doing so. I have submitted certificates, domain invoices, etc. and I have no idea why it has failed.

Is it using ", LLC" in the name? Is it having a full street address rather than just a street name? Simply what guidelines exist for the required inputs here? I would just like to validate my business identity, so I can unblock things and move on.

Cheers

Hi @Matthew Maxwell , validation criteria can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/trusted-signing/quickstart?tabs=registerrp-portal%2Caccount-portal%2Corgvalidation%2Ccertificateprofile-portal%2Cdeleteresources-portal#create-an-identity-validation-request

If you follow this document it should help your validation pass, but if not please let me know. I'll have to look at what you're submitting. You can send me a private message here and I can help you out.

Per the validation team, the public records they reviewed indicate the organization was incorporated less than 3 years ago. At this time we can only onboard organizations that were incorporated more than 3 years ago.
