In the process of applying for resources, you will be required to set up an APNIC membership account to become an account holder.

Apply for resources | Check your criteria

After you submit your application for resources, you will receive an email with a tracking number to confirm your application along with a copy of your application.

Note: Organizations may only receive Internet resources once they meet the policy criteria. From 1 July 2009, APNIC will only assign two-bye AS numbers if the requester can demonstrate that a four-byte AS number is unsuitable.

Need to request resources on behalf of multiple APNIC members?

If you are requesting resources on behalf of multiple APNIC members and have not been given access to their MyAPNIC accounts, use these forms to request:

Ongoing IPv4 and IPv6 assignment

To complete your application, you must provide the following information:

Fee and tier information

APNIC membership is available in seven tiers:

Associate

Medium
Large
Very large
Extra large

As a new member you may choose to start from the Associate member tier. However, you can choose to start from a higher level tier.

Note: Your membership tier is assessed every twelve months at the end of your membership term.

Provide contacts

All assignments and allocations are registered in the APNIC Whois Database, so it is necessary to provide accurate contact details to assist in Internet troubleshooting at all levels. The registration of resources also ensures that every assignment and allocation of address space is guaranteed as globally unique.

Fees apply

In addition to the annual membership fee, first time IP resource applications require a one-off, non-refundable application fee. This fee will only be invoiced to you once your resource request is approved.

Note: The following services are exempt from the initial IP resource application fee: critical infrastructure assignments, experimental allocations, IXP assignments and AS numbers
