Account-level Route 53 domain registration restriction – weeks without resolution from AWS Support

0

Hello AWS Community,

I have been unable to register any domain through Amazon Route 53 for several weeks now, and my AWS Support case has received no response during this entire period.

What I have already verified and ruled out:

✅ Payment method is valid, verified, and recently renewed ✅ No SCPs blocking route53domains actions ✅ IAM permissions are AdministratorAccess — no permission issues ✅ Not attempting to register a premium or unsupported TLD ✅ Issue occurs with multiple different domain names and extensions The registration fails immediately every time, with the generic message: "We can't finish registering your domain. Contact AWS Support."

This confirms the block is an account-level restriction applied by AWS, not a billing or permissions issue on my side.

I have already opened an AWS Support case weeks ago under Account and Billing → Domains → Registration Issue, but have received zero response.

My questions:

Has anyone experienced the same issue and found a resolution? Can an AWS moderator please escalate this internally to the Route 53 Domains / Trust & Safety team? I can provide my Account ID, Operation ID, and case details privately through the AWS Support Center or via a moderator.

Any help is greatly appreciated. This is blocking my project completely.

I understand how frustrating it is to be blocked from registering domains, especially when it's impacting your project. The error message you're seeing—'We can't finish registering your domain. Contact AWS Support.'—does typically indicate an account-level restriction that requires AWS intervention to resolve.

Since you've already ruled out the common causes like payment methods, IAM permissions, and SCPs, and the issue persists across multiple domain names and TLDs, this is indeed something that needs to be addressed directly with AWS Support through your existing case.

For your open support case, I recommend adding new correspondence through the AWS Support Center at https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/. When you add a reply, include all the troubleshooting steps you've already completed (as you've outlined here) and emphasize that the issue is blocking your project. This helps ensure the support team has complete context.

If you feel your current support plan's response times aren't meeting your needs for time-sensitive issues like this, you may also want to review your AWS Support plan options to see if a different tier would provide faster response times for future cases.

The AWS Support Center is the appropriate channel for resolving account-specific restrictions like this, as the support team has access to your account details and can work with the relevant internal teams to investigate and remove any blocks that may have been applied.
