Domain Verification Failing – Need Assistance with Resolution and Appeal Process

Question

I have been approved for $5,000 in Azure credits and signed up for the Microsoft for Startups program using my LinkedIn account. The email associated with my account is my personal Yahoo email.

The domain verification process has failed twice, even though a WHOIS lookup confirms my name and company address. I’d like to understand why the verification is failing and how I can appeal the decision correctly.

Additionally, if the issue is related to using my personal Yahoo email, would updating it to my company domain email resolve the issue? If I make this change, will I still be able to log in using LinkedIn authentication?

Looking forward to your guidance.
