How to update State/Province on Microsoft Entra?

You can update the state property via the PATCH method: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/organization-update?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http

The caveat is that you need to use the /beta endpoint for this. And you need to make sure you're using the /organization/{id} endpoint, with Organization.ReadWrite.All permissions. Here's an example:

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/organization/84841066-274d-4ec0-a5c1-276be684bdd3

{
    "state":"blabla"
}

The tenant-level Country/Region value is fixed after directory creation and cannot be changed. However, the State/Province value is not a tenant-level setting; it is a user (or customer) profile attribute that can be set and updated.

To update State/Province for users in Microsoft Entra ID:

1. Use the Microsoft Entra admin center for bulk edits
   • Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a User Administrator.
   • Go to Entra ID > Users.
   • Select up to 60 users and choose Edit.
   • In Edit properties, update State or province and save.
2. Use PowerShell for scripted updates
   • Install and import the Microsoft.Entra.Users PowerShell module.
   • Use Set-EntraUser with the -Country and/or -State parameters to update user attributes, for example:

          Set-EntraUser -UserId <userObjectId or UPN> -State "WA"
     

   • Update-EntraUser is an alias for Set-EntraUser.
3. For External ID (customer) accounts
   • In Microsoft Entra External ID user flows, State/Province is the built-in state attribute.
   • Configure it in the sign-up user flow so it is collected and stored; it can then be read and updated via Microsoft Graph using the state property on the user resource.

The null state value seen in Microsoft Graph simply indicates that the attribute has not been set yet. Once populated via the admin center, PowerShell, or user flows, subsequent Graph queries will return the configured value.
