Abstract: Given a family $\{h_{\mathbf{n}}\}_{\mathbf{n}\in\mathbb{Z} _+^\Omega}$ of vectors in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ we characterize the existence of a family of commuting contractions $\mathbf{T}=\{T_\omega\}_{w\in \Omega}$ on $\mathcal{H}$ having regular dilation and such that

\begin{displaymath}h_{\mathbf{n}}=\mathbf{T} ^{\mathbf{n}} h_{\mathbf{0}},\quad \mathbf{n}\in\mathbb{Z} _+^\Omega. \end{displaymath}

The theorem is a multi-dimensional analogue for some well-known operator moment problems due to Sebestyén in case $\vert\Omega\vert=1$ or, recently, to Gavruta and Paunescu in case $\vert\Omega\vert=2$.
