ID Validation for organization stuck "In Progress" well over 7 days

Likely cause/summary: for Artifact Signing organization validation, long-running “In Progress” states are usually backend verification queue delays or a blocked sub-check (identity signal, issuer verification, or review hold), rather than something you can fix from the portal UI.

1. Capture your validation request details (organization name, tenant/subscription, approximate submission time, and current status screenshot).
2. 1. In the Artifact Signing blade, confirm there is no pending action prompt and that all required fields were submitted exactly once.
   2. 1. Avoid deleting/restarting the validation while it is in progress, because it can reset the review context and consume another attempt.
      2. 1. Request moderator-assisted escalation in this Q&A thread for backend review of the existing validation record.
      3. Confirmed fact from your post: status has remained “In Progress” beyond expected time.
      4. Possible cause: backend review queue or a stuck verification checkpoint requiring Microsoft-side intervention.

Thank you for your response.

I’ve confirmed that all required organization information was submitted correctly and that there are no pending actions, documentation requests, or error messages in the Azure portal.

Our identity validation remains stuck in “In Progress,” and we are unable to create a certificate profile or use the Artifact Signing service.

As suggested, I would like to formally request moderator-assisted escalation for a backend review of our existing identity validation record.

Could you please escalate this to the appropriate Microsoft Artifact Signing team or advise how to initiate that escalation without purchasing an additional technical support plan?

We can provide our subscription ID, validation request ID, and supporting screenshots through a secure channel if needed.

Thank you.
