I understand your frustration with the AWS account registration process. The verification steps you're experiencing are part of AWS's standard account verification procedures, which can sometimes feel cumbersome.
When signing up for an AWS account, you are required to provide valid credit card information, even for the free tier. AWS typically requires verification of identity and payment methods to prevent fraud and ensure account security.
If your account is blocked during this process, it's likely because AWS needs additional verification. This can happen when there are discrepancies in the information provided or when additional verification is needed for security purposes.
Some common issues during verification include:
- Credit card validation problems (incorrect details, unsupported card type)
- Cards that don't allow international transactions
- Mismatches between the information on your ID documents and the account details
If you're still interested in using AWS, you can contact AWS Support by opening a case under "Account and billing" (which is free of charge) to get assistance with your specific situation. They can help explain exactly why your account was blocked and what steps you need to take to resolve the issue.
While the verification process can be frustrating, it's designed to protect both AWS and its customers from fraudulent activities.

The problem of excessive data collection hasn't been solved. You're collecting a large amount of user credit card information, and even after users have linked their accounts, you're collecting additional data. You're requiring various proofs that the account is mine. Your actions are shameful. I will file a lawsuit with the security department and order rectification. Honestly, I'm increasingly tempted to abandon AWS. Our company's annual procurement costs are tens of millions of dollars, and due to account issues, we're considering switching to Alibaba Cloud services.

I've submitted my information, but your review is so slow, and you're prone to blocking people by mistake. Any new user will be blocked!!! I've also filed several tickets, but no customer service has responded!
I don't know if your customer service is working. I sent many tickets but no one accepted them. In addition, I also submitted various information to cooperate with your verification, but your customer service is questioning like the FBI. I think your service is particularly bad.
