Hi Tyler Landis
If your Certificate of Formation has been denied and you are unable to provide a business registration certificate due to state-specific requirements, you may consider submitting alternative supporting documents that meet Microsoft’s verification standards. Please ensure that any documents you submit are recent and accurately reflect your business details.
It is important that the business name and address on your documents exactly match the information listed in your Founders Hub profile. If there are any discrepancies, kindly update your profile accordingly before resubmitting.
Acceptable alternative documents may include:
- Tax identification documents
Bank statements showing the business name and address
Utility bills or lease agreements issued under the business name
If domain verification is also required, you may submit:
- Domain purchase invoices or domain registry confirmation records
- A business website displaying your business name, address, contact information, and associated domain.
Please refer to the doc, Business and Domain Verification
If the issue persists, we recommend reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance Submit Support Request.
Please reach out to us if you have any other queries.
