Unable to Create Individual Xbox Dev Account – "Request Was Blocked" Error

Hi all,

I’m trying to create and pay for an individual Xbox developer account, but I keep running into a frustrating error that’s blocking my progress.

I’m not part of a company — I’m just trying to register as an individual dev. Every time I go through the registration process, I receive this message:

“Microsoft runs on trust. We engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes; as a result your request was blocked.”

Here are the details from the error:

Reference number: 715-123225

Transaction ID: a1b26c06-2316-4ba2-9070-0f9189c790aa

Correlation ID: f1260f2d-9290-446d-bc0a-93d4d58e2a7e

I’ve tried:

Multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari)

Different devices (laptop, phone)

Switching networks (home Wi-Fi, mobile data, etc.)

I’ve also raised a support ticket but haven’t gotten a resolution yet. This is taking up quite a bit of time, and I’d really appreciate any advice or escalation paths if someone has faced and resolved this before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
