How to move ownership of Azure resources between accounts?

Question

How to move ownership of Azure resources between accounts?

Jane Fitzpatrick 5

We have a set of Azure resources running and would like to transfer ownership to a different account billing to a different credit card. There are a smattering of questions and documents if you search the web but they appear to be out of date and we have not been able to get the support bot to navigate to, well, anything.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

@Jane Fitzpatrick Greetings!

You can refer to this guide - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/billing-subscription-transfer#transfer-billing-ownership-of-an-azure-subscription for transferring billing ownership of an Azure subscription.

However, if you planning to transfer billing ownership of your subscription to an account in another Microsoft Entra tenant then the process is little complex. You can follow the guidance provided here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/billing-subscription-transfer#transfer-a-subscription-to-another-microsoft-entra-tenant-account

For further assistance regarding your transfer request, you can directly reach out to Azure billing and subscription management support by raising a support request. The ticket enables you to work closely with the support engineers and get a quick resolution to your issue.

Here is the link - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request to create support case.

FYI: Azure Billing and Subscription Management support is included in the Basic Support Plan without any charge.

Same question, but much deeper into the process. Now the problem is that to accept the transfer to an EXISTING role account that has full owner role for the subscription being transferred, instead of a straightforward acceptance form, I get a "new user" signup page at https://signup.azure.com/transfer?transferId=someguid, which seems totally wrong. Also all the wording about "different or same tenant" in the documents are nothing but confusing without a straightforward way to see if a desired transfer recipient account is "in the same tenant" for the purposes of the already Kafka-esque labyrinth of procedures.
