Multiple notarization submissions stuck in "In Progress" for several days

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.

The earliest stuck submission is:

7bee3edc-764b-422f-8722-727b51e46355 Created: 2026-06-07T12:20:42.972Z

It has remained in "In Progress" status ever since.

Since then, I have submitted five additional notarization requests:

• 1575fc69-3ab8-47bb-a589-f8e6715068ab
• d2d483ad-55af-465b-aa5b-81e010eaf6fc
• d069aeed-bc0c-46f9-ac83-facb00769d66
• 5787259c-cad8-409a-9ca9-ead7cdcbfdd0
• 54123d59-6fcf-4358-b14c-fb2cbd1a6f84

All of them remain in "In Progress".

For reference, my last successful notarization was:

eb3d534a-cd69-4589-916b-8305c63429c2 Accepted on 2026-06-01

This is why I suspect there may be an issue beyond normal processing delays.

You are correct on that front. This behaviour is strongly indicative of the “in-depth analysis” I mentioned above.

Your oldest request is now 3 days old, which seems like a long time but isn’t completely out of the ordinary. If it’s still stuck after a week, reply back here and I’ll dig deeper.
