Is my organization qualified to receive IP address space from APNIC?
APNIC policies govern the criteria for Internet resource delegation. To check if you can meet the policy criteria, please check your eligibility and review the IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy.
How do I apply for IPv6 address space from APNIC?
If you are an APNIC Member, you can simply log in to MyAPNIC to submit your application.
If you are not an APNIC Member, please complete the Membership and Resource Application form.
What costs are involved in receiving IPv6 address space from APNIC?
For a new Member receiving only IPv6 address space, you will need to pay the annual membership and a non-refundable IP resource application fee. These fees are invoiced after your initial request is approved.
For an existing Member, which already has IPv4 delegation from APNIC, there are no additional fees. However, holding additional IPv6 address space may affect your annual membership fee.
Please see more information on 
APNIC fees
Can I upgrade my existing /35 allocation?
Yes. Organizations that previously received a /35 allocation before 1 July 2002 are able to have their allocation increased to a /32, provided they still meet the general eligibility criteria in section 5 of the IPv6 Address allocation and assignment policy. To request the upgrade, please email hostmaster@apnic.net with your Member account name in the email subject.
Can I apply for IPv6 addresses which I will not use immediately?
Yes, as long as your application meet the policy criteria.
Can I get an IPv6 assignment for my Internet Exchange Point (IXP)?
Yes, you may be eligible to receive an IPv6 address assignment under APNICs IXP policy. Internet Exchange Points are eligible to receive a portable assignment from APNIC to be used exclusively to connect the IXP participant devices to the Exchange Point.
Please review the IXP address assignment - FAQs and the IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy.
I am involved in IPv6 R&D. How do I receive address space to support my activities?
Depending on your specific activity, you may qualify under the Experimental allocations policy.
Can I get an IPv6 multihoming assignment for my network?
Yes. If you are multihomed with IPv4 address space, you may be qualified for IPv6 address space for your multihomed network. Please review the Small multihoming assignments section of the IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy.
