Billing procedure

Membership terms are effective for one year. APNIC Members are to renew their membership every 12 months to keep the Membership account open.

Prior to Membership expiration

Renewal reminders

Annual membership renewal reminders are emailed to all APNIC Members at around 60 days and 30 days before the membership expiry date.

Annual membership fee calculations are based on the total number of IP addresses held under your account on the anniversary of your APNIC membership.
Your Membership Tier is also based on the amount of address space held - see APNIC Membership: Tiers and Voting rights.
APNIC reviews Membership Tiers each year upon renewal and adjusts them if the total address space allocation varies from the address limit for the current membership tier.

You may choose to join a higher membership tier but may not attempt to select a lower tier than the one determined by your address resource holdings.

Upon Membership expiration

Renewal fee payment

Upon account expiration, the invoice for membership renewal, together with the payment instruction letter, is emailed to members.

The membership fee is based on the account's Internet resource holdings as of the membership anniversary date
A hard copy of the invoice may also be obtained via MyAPNIC under Administration > billing history or upon request.

Payment guide

When paying membership fees:

Please include the invoice number and membership account name in the payment details to avoid processing delays
Payment may be made by either wire transfer, or bank draft
Payment can also be made via secure online credit card. Payment is processed in the AUD equivalent as at the day of processing. A secure server is available for submitting your credit card details.

All payments are due within 30 days of the membership expiry date, or upon receipt of the invoice.

Failure to pay APNIC membership fees will result in suspension of services and a withdrawal of all resources previously allocated.

How do I return Internet resources?

Your annual membership renewal fee is directly related to the amount of Internet number resources you hold on your membership anniversary date.

If you wish to return your resource holdings, please contact us as soon as possible and provide details of the resources that need to be returned
These resources must be returned to APNIC before your membership anniversary date to be eligible for a revision of your renewal fee.

Return of resources procedure

Keep your contact details up-to-date

To ensure your annual membership renewal invoice arrives at your billing department, it is important to keep your member contact details up-to-date.

It is the responsibility of the member to inform APNIC of any changes to their billing address and contact details
Late payment as a result of incorrect contact details is the responsibility of the member.

Please contact us to update your contact details. Alternatively, members can log in to view and update their billing and contact details via MyAPNIC.

Once APNIC receives your renewal fee payment, your member status will be changed to OPEN and your membership account will be renewed again the following year.
