Hello,


This issue can occur if you are creating an Apple ID with an email that was also created very recently, or if you have made many requests to create an Apple ID in a short period of time. Try using a well established email, and wait a while between making multiple Apple Accounts. Using an Apple device to create the Apple ID instead of the Apple website can also speed up the process.


If you are still having issues, you can reach out to Apple Support for more help. https://getsupport.apple.com.


Hope this helps!

If it’s not a problem with your connection to Apple then it may be a problem with your data entry. “At this time" is unfortunately a somewhat vague Apple catch-all error message. It could mean that you cannot connect to the Apple service you need to use, or it could mean there is something invalid or missing in your information entry and once you correct that, _then_ it is the right time. ;-)


- Check if the problem actually is at Apple’s end of things and if there’s an issue with Apple's servers: Apple - Support - System Status

- Completely disable any VPN you are using.


If those do not resolve the issue, check what you are doing is valid (such as when creating an account all your information is consistent for the country in which you are creating the account) and has ALL the information required (scroll down to see if there’s more off the bottom of a page). Confer with Apple's documentation about the action you are trying to do.


If you still have problems, contact official Apple Support:
