Route53 Hosted Zone is taking too much time

Question

I have registered a domain using Route53, and approximately 7 months later, I created a new hosted zone for the same domain. However, it has been over 48 hours, and my NS (Name Server) records and other DNS records have not fully propagated. Consequently, the email hosting service is unable to detect the MX records within the associated DNS zone. To validate my records, I am utilizing https://zohomail.tools/#domainDetails/sifticle.com/NS.

I do not currently possess access to AWS support. While I understand that DNS propagation can be a time-consuming process, it is unusual for it to extend beyond a period of four days. I cannot definitively identify any issues with the domain, but I can confirm that the domain is active, registered with Route53, and currently managed within my AWS console account.

Any help will be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for the details. Through `whois` query it looks like your domain is registered with Amazon Registrar, with the active NS as below: 
```
Name Server: NS-493.AWSDNS-61.COM
Name Server: NS-893.AWSDNS-47.NET
Name Server: NS-1103.AWSDNS-09.ORG
Name Server: NS-1936.AWSDNS-50.CO.UK
```

Please help to check if these records match those listed in your newly created hosted zone.

- Check the listed NS records following the steps [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html)
- If the records are inconsistent, please update it following the steps [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-name-servers-glue-records.html#domain-name-servers-glue-records-adding-changing)

If the issue persists, please feel free to provide additional information for further analysis. Thank you!
