Non-Member fees

What is a Non-Member?

APNIC Non-Member account holders are organizations that wish to have access to resources without becoming full APNIC Members. Examples include some governments and not-for-profit organizations that are not allowed to become members of other organizations.

Non-Members are subject to the same criteria regarding address space applications and resource management.

Non-Member fee schedule

From 1 January 2025, the APNIC Fee Schedule will be revised, resulting in changes for all Account Holders. There will be subsequent fee increases from 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2027. From 1 January 2028, the Base Fee will increase by 4.75% on 1 January each year. See this announcement for more information.

LDC discount

Organizations located in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) receive a 50% discount on their APNIC Non-Member fees as described in section 3 of the APNIC Non-Member Fee Schedule. The list of LDCs is defined and maintained by the United Nations Statistics division.
