Step 1

Notify APNIC in writing

Step 2

APNIC processes your request
A request will be processed for either a membership account closure or a change to the membership tier.

Account closure:

  • APNIC confirms the closure date of the account and the return of any Internet resources.
Changes to membership tier:
  • APNIC will check the minimum allocation size of the member's IP block
  • If the minimum allocation size is smaller than the member's IP block, the member can request to return part of their IP block and downgrade their membership tier
  • The member will be asked to decide which block they choose to retain
  • The IP block the member returns will be renumbered and returned to APNIC.
Step 3

APNIC updates records

  • APNIC records (ARMS)
  • APNIC Whois database

Account closure

APNIC will inform the member in writing to terminate the membership and revoke all the member's rights if the member does not renew its membership within 30 days of the membership due date.

Upon revoking the member's rights, Internet resources delegated by APNIC will be reclaimed.  Consequently, all Whois database records associated with the resources will also be deleted.

The resources will be returned to the public resource pool, where they will be available for delegation to other organizations.

Resource records transferred to the APNIC Whois database

Historically delegated IP address ranges and AS numbers used by networks in the Asia Pacific region registered in databases other than the APNIC Whois database, have all been transferred to the APNIC Whois Database. The transfer of records from AUNIC to APNIC was completed in 2001, and the transfer of InterNIC records held in ARIN was completed in 2005.
