Migrating Azure AD B2C Users from Region to Region

At the moment Azure AD B2C are not available in all regions. So , If I create Azure AD B2C in a region where it is available, is it possible me to migrate users later into a new Azure AD B2C, which will be created in my region when the Azure AD B2C available in the region?

Currently there is no information from Microsoft as whether they will provide a native export feature within B2C to allow migration between regions. However you can export users between B2C tenants using GraphAPI as per this guide. One issue with this method for local accounts is that passwords cannot be migrated out of a B2C tenant, so you have two options:

  1. Password Reset - You force every user to perform a password reset whether that be via an email sent to every user, or when a user tries to sign in for the first time.
  2. Validate against old tenant - You modify your sign in policy on the new tenant to verify the users email and password combo against the old tenant via a REST API technical profile. If valid you then write the password to the new tenant.
