There are a few different reasons you may see an error message when trying to create an online Lincoln Account. Review the guidelines below to help address your concerns.
Importante: Ensure you are creating your account on Chrome or Edge, as the website does not support Internet Explorer.
Email Requirements
Your email must meet specific requirements, or it will receive an error during account creation. Listed below are some of the more common rules that may cause an account activation error.
Refer to the following table for email address registration rules:
| Error Message Rule | Example of a Failing Email Address | |||
| It should only have one "@" symbol. | happy@client@yahoo.com | |||
| Certain special characters are not allowed, such as spaces, closing braces, semicolons, and tick marks. | lincoln(owner)@aol.com | |||
| It should have more than one character before the "@" symbol. | l@gmail.com | |||
| There should not be any periods after the "@", except for one before ".com". | name@a.o.l.com | |||
It should not have any of the following values:

If your email meets the registration rules, but you still can not create an online account, try registering with a different email address.
Non-Email Related Error Messages
You may receive a non-email related error message when trying to create an online account, such as:
- "Failed, please try again later" when creating a new account.
- “Account Already Exists” when trying to make an account again later.
If you receive either of these error messages, contact the Lincoln Client Relationship Center by clicking Live Chat on the Ayuda de Lincoln website, or calling 1-800-521-4140.
