Startup verification issue in Microsoft for Startup

Hello,

On the Azure Portal in Microsoft for startup tab, my startup verification status shows:

“We couldn’t verify your startup. We’ll switch you to a pay-as-you-go subscription once your remaining Azure credits run out or expire.”

Could you please provide the appropriate email address where I can send my business registration details and supporting documents for startup verification?

I would be happy to provide the required documents to complete the verification process.

    Hi Nitish,

    Microsoft does not currently provide a public email address for sending Microsoft for Startups business-verification documents. Microsoft’s documentation says that business and domain verification issues are handled by Microsoft for Startups Program Support, and support requests should be submitted through the Azure Portal.

    In the Azure Portal, open Microsoft for Startups and look for Program support or Your Microsoft Team → Get program support. You can submit the verification issue there and provide supporting documents when requested.

    If that option is missing from your portal, which has also been reported by other users on the newer Startups experience, I would ask a Microsoft moderator here to help route your case to the Microsoft for Startups Program Support/Verification team.

    For security, please do not post your registration documents, subscription ID, or other sensitive business information publicly.

    Thank you, and feel free to respond back for more assistance.
