Coming soon: Updated Partner Center vetting experience for the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and Cloud Solution Providers
🤖 Partner Center’s verification experience began changing on July 28, 2026 for Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and CSP participants.
💡 The update introduces clearer communications, a more consistent workflow and inline validation intended to catch common submission errors.
📌 CSP distributors, direct bill partners and resellers encounter the changes as they enter verification; Microsoft does not require an immediate new submission simply because the interface changed.
👉 Partners should keep contact information and compliance-administrator details current and review notification preferences so that actual verification requests reach the right person.
