How do I do an OEM unlock on my phone?

Trying to do so on an android right now but its greyed out. I’ve been looking to how to do a device unlock on this website but I can’t find anything. I can’t find the device on my account, only my main one.

    Samsung does not make it possible to bootloader unlock on US models of any of their newer devices.

    OEM unlock would unlock the bootloader.  That doesn't change the SIM lock or unlock state but some devices, like OnePlus devices, require the device to be SIM unlocked before the bootloader can be unlocked.  Other devices, like the S23 Ultra from Samsung, are not possible to bootloader unlock currently.  What device are you using?
