I’ve been attempting to activate https on my website (www.bhameyie.com) for the past week to no avail. Both www.bhameyie.com and bhameyie.com have the Netlify DNS label on them in the custom domain panel, which I believe indicates that my updates to the AWS Route 53 records were correct. Clicking on Verify DNS also results in a successful message.
And yet, when I click Provision certificate, I get an error: We could not provision a Let’s Encrypt certificate for your custom domain.. When I browse https://www.bhameyie.com, I get an alert from my browser due to an invalid certificate whose common name is *.netlify.
Hi, @bhameyie, and welcome to the Netlify community site.

However, the DNS zone is inactive and that will prevent us from being able to create or update SSL certificates for this custom domain.
There is more information about how to detect and fix this type of issue in this support guide:
