Cannot create new Apple ID

My aunt and uncle gave their iPad to my mother. I erased it. It’s still won’t let me set up a new Apple ID for my mother. I get a message that reads cannot create Apple ID. I checked with my aunt and uncle and they said that the iPad is no longer on their find my iPhone app. I don’t know what else to try.
