Appropriate roles: Global admin | Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account admin | Owner | Manager | Compliance admin

The first time you sign into Partner Center as a Global admin or Compliance admin, confirm that all of your company details are correct. These include primary contact, legal business name and address, and program information. If your company has more than one location, review your location data for accuracy. As the Global admin, Billing admin, or Admin agent, you'll also be able to see and update your billing and tax information.

Note

You must be the Global admin to update your billing address. You need to provide security contact information if not already added while updating your profile.

Your partner profile consists of your legal business information, primary contact name and email, the programs in which your company participates, and if relevant, other companies that are now merged under your legal business. Make sure the company name and address in your legal business profile are free of spelling errors and abbreviations, and match your formal company business registration records exactly. If you're operating as a sole proprietor, you need to use your company name as your legal name.

  1. Sign in to Partner Center and select the Settings (gear) icon.
  2. Select the Account settings workspace, then Legal info.
  3. Review the values for Legal business profile, Primary contact info, and Program info.

If you've merged your other companies under your legal business, you can review that information as well.

Important

  • For Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program accounts, both the Global admin and Account admin can update the legal company name.
  • For Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Indirect reseller accounts, only the Global admin can update the legal company name.
  • Direct-bill partners and Indirect providers cannot change the legal name of their company if the account verification status is Authorized. If you need to change the name, you must create a support ticket.

To update your legal company name or address:

  1. Sign in to Partner Center and select the Settings (gear) icon.
  2. Select Account settings, then Legal info.
  3. Select the legal business profile (partner or reseller) you want to update.
  4. Select Update next to the company name/address and change the details.
  5. When you select Submit, your legal identity will be reassessed. We only reassess information that you've changed.
  6. If the verification fails, learn how to fix the problem.

Important

If you are a CSP partner, you can't change the country/region associated with your legal address. Your legal address's country/region is tied to your tenant, services, and the currency you do business with. If a Global Admin/Account Admin is unable to change company name, please Contact Support and attach HAR file/PSR of the steps showing the error. To learn about Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program country/region updates, read MAICPP country/region updates.
