Twitter Sent You a Code and Then the Error: We Cannot Complete Your Registration Right Now – What Does It Mean?
If you’re encountering the error “We cannot complete your registration right now” while creating a Twitter account, this article will help you understand the possible reasons and how to resolve it.
Most users who face this error when trying to register for a new account do so because Twitter detects suspicious activity. In some cases, it may be related to the username you’re trying to use, either because it’s problematic or already taken, but the system presents this error later in the process. In this article, we’ll explain the root causes of this issue and how to get past it.
What Does “We Cannot Complete Your Registration Right Now” Mean, and What Can Be Done?
While creating an X (Twitter) account, after passing the security questions, Twitter sends a verification code. Normally, if you enter the code correctly, you should be able to proceed to the next step and create your account. However, after entering the verification code, you may encounter the “We cannot complete your registration right now” error. This could be due to issues with the verification code, your account being flagged as suspicious, the username you’re attempting to use, or potential issues with your connection or device.
Why Does the “We Cannot Complete Your Registration Right Now” Error Occur?
Here are some possible reasons why this error appears:
- The user information you entered may be flagged or restricted.
- If your actions are flagged as suspicious during account creation, you may receive this warning.
- Attempting to create multiple accounts with the same user information could trigger the system to see it as spam.
- The internet connection or device you’re using to create the account may be restricted.
- There may be issues with Twitter’s systems or regional problems in your area.
- The date settings on your device may have been reset or set to an incorrect date.
- VPN use can sometimes cause issues, as we’ve encountered this problem multiple times, though it is relatively rare.
How to Fix the “We Cannot Complete Your Registration Right Now” Error?
If you encounter this error during the code verification process, try restarting your internet connection (especially if you’re on WiFi) and device. Then, proceed with the following steps:
- Check Your Internet Connection: Try creating the account using a different internet connection. Depending on the situation, you could also try using a VPN. These are effective tests for issues related to connection blocking or regional problems.
- Check the Device You’re Using: Restart the phone or computer you’re using. If the issue persists, try using a different device. If the device you are using is flagged as insecure, it may prevent you from creating or using the account.
- Review or Change Account Information: Try creating the account using different details. Additionally, try changing the username you want to use. You could also ask someone else in a different region to create the account for you (e.g., a friend or family member) and report back to you.
- Account Creation Restriction: For banned or restricted information, waiting a while before trying again is often the best solution. This could take up to a day or more, depending on Twitter’s restrictions. There’s no exact time frame, but sometimes you might be able to proceed within a few minutes. However, it’s recommended to try from a different internet connection and device if you encounter the same error.
- Get Help from Twitter: If you’ve tried all the above steps and still encounter the error after a few days, you may need to submit a support request. Twitter may ask you to provide identity verification, which could include a photo ID and additional information. If you’re uncomfortable sharing this information, you might explore alternative solutions. It’s also possible that the issue is temporary, and simply waiting could resolve it.
Note: Responses to submitted support requests might take some time. We recommend waiting 1-3 days before sending another support request. Keep in mind, Twitter may not always respond, especially if the account information appears suspicious or has been flagged for violations.
Issues with Creating and Using Multiple Accounts
Normally, you can create multiple accounts using the same information. However, if the verification details are already associated with other accounts, they may conflict with the new account, and the system could flag your activity as suspicious. While not an absolute rule, we’ve encountered this issue a few times.
Social media platforms often assume multiple accounts may be used for fraudulent activities, leading to stricter monitoring. Why would someone create so many accounts unless it’s for business purposes?
If you have unnecessary accounts, it’s recommended to remove them if you still have access. At the very least, be mindful of the information you use on those accounts.
