The .IT Registry performs a check of validity of the nameservers before activating a domain name and each before activating new nameservers. So you need to make sure that your nameservers are able to pass the check and you can use our website zonecheck.eu to test or directly the nameserver test of the Italian Registration Authority at:

https://dns-check.nic.it/

and solve any issues you find there.

Nameserver Checks

PLEASE NOTE: The registry performs nameserver checks, therefore, domains are not activated until the domain's nameservers are successfully checked by the registry.

Nameservers for a .IT domain have to be correctly configured before the registration request succeeds, otherwise registration will fail.
Please check that the following requirements are met:

• there must be at least 2 (two) authoritative nameservers for the domain name, and they must correspond exactly to those found in the registration of the domain name
• the IP addresses of hosts in the registration of the domain name must correspond to those actually associated with them in the DNS
• the domain name cannot be associated with a CNAME record
• the name of the nameserver specified in the SOA record for the domain name cannot be a CNAME
• the names of the authoritative nameservers for the domain name cannot be CNAMEs
• if there is an MX registration it cannot be associated with a CNAME
• all hosts in the registration must be authoritative for the domain name registered

The registry offers a validation tool to check the nameservers. https://dns-check.nic.it/
