The techniques provide a wireless communication carrier with the ability to directly initiate a subscription management service to perform profile state changes with respect to eSIM profile states that are maintained by the subscription management service. A profile transition request is received from an entity at an eSIM management platform. The profile transition request includes a profile state change for an eSIM profile from a first profile state to a second profile state. The requested profile state change is validated using a validation table of permissible profile state changes that is common to the eSIM management platform and the subscription management service. The profile transition request is sent to the subscription management service in response to the validation of the profile state change.
