    Hello Ricardo Hamilton , Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
    Are you trying to move to move the IP address to a different region that the existing one?
    Moving public IP addresses to a new Subscription is supported. But in case of moving to a new region, you can only move public IP address configuration. Unfortunately, you cannot keep the same IP address as you currently have as it cannot be retained when moved across regions.
    This is described in the supported Move operation for resources document here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-support-resources#microsoftnetwork
    User's image

    However, you can use Azure Resource Mover to move public IP address configurations.

    In case, the move operations you are trying to do are not supported, you can create a new resource in the new subscription by exporting the template of the existing resource in the old subscription by following this document : Use Azure portal to export a template

    Additional reading: Move resources to a new resource group or subscription

    If none of the suggestions apply to you or if you have any questions/concerns, please let me know in the "comments" and I can investigate further into it.
