hi,
The "Pending" status is not necessarily a sign of a problem, but rather that the process is still in motion.
Give it another day or two to see if the status changes.
Route 53 or nic.it may have sent a verification or confirmation email that you need to act on.
meanwhile, you can review the specific requirements for .it domains, the necessary information, such as a taxpayer code.

When registering a .it domain through Route 53, the process typically takes some time, but 4 days (including 2 business days) is within the normal range for domain registration processing.
Domain registrations can sometimes take longer due to various factors:
-
The registry for the specific TLD (in this case, .it) may have its own processing timeframes that AWS must work with.
-
DNS propagation can take up to 24-48 hours, but the actual registration process with the registry authority can take additional time.
-
Some domain registrations may require additional verification or have specific requirements that need to be met before completion.
Since your domain is still showing as "Pending" in Route 53 and doesn't appear in the nic.it register yet, this suggests the registration is still being processed through the normal channels.
Even without a paid support plan, you can contact AWS Support specifically for domain registration issues. Domain registration support is available to all AWS customers at no additional charge under the "Account and Billing" support category. You can open a case by going to the AWS Support Center, selecting "Account and Billing Support" with the service set to "Domains" and the category as "Registration Issue."
If you continue to see no progress after 5-7 business days, reaching out to AWS Support through this method would be recommended.

Thanks, Malini. I ended up registering the domain on Netsons and received it within 10 minutes of completing the process. Let's see when the "Pending" state will be updated in Route 53 :)
