Hi @cybageabhishek!
Sorry, here we work with CE specific bugs only. Please, contact our enterprise support team for this issue.

This issue exists on CE 2.1.2, the underlying error appears to be that if region selection is not visible at checkout, then no 'region_id' value is passed into the customer address object when it is being created.
Causing the following code to be executed:
vendor/magento/module-customer/Model/AccountManagement.php

public function createAccountWithPasswordHash(CustomerInterface $customer, $hash, $redirectUrl = ''){
...
try {
            foreach ($customerAddresses as $address) {
                 if ($address->getId()) {
                    $newAddress = clone $address;
                    $newAddress->setId(null);
                    $newAddress->setCustomerId($customer->getId());
                    $this->addressRepository->save($newAddress);
                 } else {
                    $address->setCustomerId($customer->getId());
                    $this->addressRepository->save($address);
                }
            }
        } catch (InputException $e) {
            $this->customerRepository->delete($customer);
            throw $e;
        }
...
} 

So I think the issue is a bit of a two parter:
Issue 1: region appears to be mandatory to the customer model, but is not getting passed through.
Issue 2: Customer cannot be deleted from frontend, simulating admin feels to be a bad fix.

OK. Reopened the issue.

@adamzero1 please, provide steps to reproduce for community edition.
Menu item stores >> Attribute >> Customer address is absent in CE.

@SerhiyShkolyarenko Same issue happens on CE without having to create custom address field.
