Transfer resources

Any transfer of IP addresses and AS numbers must be approved in advance by APNIC in writing before it can be registered. Without registration, IP address blocks and AS numbers cannot be fully recognized within the Internet infrastructure.

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.
