How to refresh the Publisher Display Name to match the Publisher Name from Partner Center?

We've updated the Publisher Display Name in Partner Center and successfully passed Publisher Verification (status: Authorized). We also removed and re-added the MPN ID in Azure App Registration, but the Publisher Display Name on the OAuth consent screen is still showing the old name. Additionally, in Azure, the Publisher Verification blade says “No update to publisher display name found.”

Can you please help force-refresh the Publisher Display Name update for our app registration?

    Nicolaos hi there,

    even though u already re-added the mpn id, let's try that option

    go to azure portal > app registrations > your app > brandings & properties

    remove the mpn id again (just blank it out) and save

    wait like 5-10 mins (go get coffee, seriously)

    paste the mpn id back in and save again

    this usually kicks azure's cache in the butt. check the oauth consent screen after 15-20 mins - should update. if not, oof, lets go deeper. check this api call to force refresh (needs global admin or app admin) (PWS)

    POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications/{app-id}/verifyPublisher
    Content-Type: application/json
    {
    "verifiedPublisherId": "{your-mpn-id}"
    }

    if its still stuck (which happens lol), there's this hidden timer - azure updates those names like once every 24h max. so if u changed it recently in partner center, might just need to wait a bit longer. annoying but true.

    most have similar sync delays when updating org names. worth looking into if u do multi-cloud stuff.

    btw, sometimes the 'no update found' message is just ui being dumb. try opening the publisher verification blade in private/incognito mode - works weirdly often %))

    let me know if its still being stubborn after all this

    Best regards,

    Alex

    and "yes" if you would follow me at Q&A - personaly thx.
