Why Did I Receive an Email to Provide a Digital Reference for Intel® Partner Alliance?

In April of 2023, Intel sent an email to certain accounts within the Intel® Alliance Program, asking for a digital reference to verify the company was a valid business.

You may have been asked to provide one of the following:

• Verifiable business address
• Verifiable business website that represents your business and confirms your IT-centric business model
• Business license / business registration certificate AND the lookup URL of the issuing authority

Why is Intel requesting this information?
There are tens of thousands of accounts active in the Intel Partner Alliance program, but many were enrolled in previous partner programs and migrated to Intel Partner Alliance when it first launched.
Many of these programs had less stringent terms and conditions, and we want to make sure all members of the Alliance are verified and vetted to be an actual business serving the technology sector.
This helps reduce fraud in the channel, helps lower operating costs, and ensures a safe, secure, and vibrant ecosystem for all partners.

What do I do if I received this email?
If you received this email, contact Intel Customer Support and provide one of the three items listed above.
