OAuth branding verification stuck - "home page URL not registered" despite completed Search Console verification

Hi,

My OAuth branding verification is stuck on the following error:

“The website of your home page URL (URL Removed by Staff) is not registered to you.”

Steps I’ve already completed:

  1. Verified ownership of the exact URL in Google Search Console (URL-prefix property, HTML file verification method) - shows as “Ownership verified” there.
  2. The URL is listed under Authorized domains in the OAuth consent screen: (URL Removed by Staff)
  3. The Application home page field matches the verified URL exactly, including the trailing slash.
  4. A previous separate branding issue (app name mismatch) was successfully resolved after I fixed it and resubmitted - that issue no longer appears. Only the home page ownership issue remains.
  5. I’ve resubmitted for re-verification (I have fixed the issues → Proceed) multiple times over the past several days with no change in status.

Project ID: vaad-congress-17

I’ve noticed several other recent topics in this forum reporting the exact same symptom (verification stuck on home page not registered despite completed Search Console verification, with no Trust and Safety follow-up email). This looks like it may be a backend sync issue between Search Console verification and the OAuth branding verification system, rather than something fixable on my end.

Would really appreciate help from the Trust and Safety team to manually confirm the domain ownership and unblock this. Happy to provide any additional verification or details needed.

Thank you!
