his usually happens with new AWS accounts or accounts without enough trust/history on AWS.

Try these steps:

  1. Make sure you are using a supported Bedrock region like:

    • us-east-1

    • us-west-2

  2. Complete account verification:

    • add billing method

    • verify phone number

    • enable MFA

  3. Open an AWS Support case here:
    AWS Console → Support Center → Create case

  4. In the support message, explain:

    • you want access to Anthropic Claude models on Bedrock

    • your use case (learning, SaaS, chatbot, AI app, etc.)

    • ask them to enable Anthropic access for your account

  5. Wait a few hours or 1–2 days, then retry.

Many people get this issue on first-time Bedrock activation, so it’s pretty common.
