Partner Center business verification (Argentina): which documents are accepted (SRL/SA/SAS) and how to choose the correct “Upload document” type?

Question

Hi, I’m trying to complete/update Business Verification in Microsoft Partner Center (publisher account created in 2018; developer subscription active since 2023). In the verification section it asks for either a D-U-N-S number or to Upload document, and I see the message: “You need to re upload a document for profile update.”

I’m based in Argentina and I want to publish indie games for Windows and Xbox. Could you please confirm:

“business verification / legal verification / upload documents”

For Argentina, which specific documents are accepted for business verification for these entity types: SRL, SA, SAS (primary + secondary documents, if required)?

Does Microsoft require English translation, notarization, or apostille for Spanish documents?

Are there recency/validity rules (e.g., issued within the last 12 months) for the documents?

In the “Upload document” dropdown, what is the correct document type to select for Argentine documents (so the upload is not rejected)?

If an upload is rejected, where can I see the exact rejection reason/code (to fix the mismatch in legal name/address/registration)?

Any guidance or official documentation links would be appreciated. Thank you.

To complete the business verification in Microsoft Partner Center for Argentina, you can provide the following documents based on the entity types you mentioned:

1. SRL (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada):
   • Formation documents such as articles of incorporation or partnership deed.
   • Business registration certificate.
2. SA (Sociedad Anónima):
   • Articles of incorporation or equivalent documents.
   • Business registration certificate.
3. SAS (Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada):
   • Formation documents similar to those for SRL and SA.
   • Business registration certificate.

Regarding the requirements for document submission:

• Microsoft typically requires documents to be in English. If your documents are in Spanish, it is advisable to provide an English translation. Notarization or apostille may be necessary, but this can depend on specific circumstances, so checking with Microsoft support for confirmation is recommended.
• There are usually recency rules for documents, often requiring them to be issued within the last 12 months, but this can vary, so it’s best to verify with Microsoft directly.

In the “Upload document” dropdown, you should select the document type that best matches the nature of the document you are uploading (e.g., "Business Registration Certificate" or "Articles of Incorporation"). If your upload is rejected, you can find the exact rejection reason in the Account Verification pane under the verification summary section.

For further guidance, please refer to the official Microsoft documentation or reach out to Microsoft support for specific inquiries related to your situation.
