How are you trying to deregister your device? If you have your device, go to Settings/Messages, tap on Send & Receive, then your Apple ID and sign out.

If you no longer have your device, but have the same phone number on a new device, use this link→Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support; it will send a confirmation to your phone number.

If the registered number is no longer in use you don’t have to deregister it; after a few days it will be automatically deregister.
