LIR Services

The ASN Registration procedure is lengthy and entails communication between your company, ours, and RIPE. Beginning with the Initial Consultation, we collect the necessary data for the ASN Registration with RIPE.
A few pieces of data we'll need from you are:
Your RIPE Person, Organization, or Maintainer objects. Your RIPE Person/ORG/Maintainer objects along with the IP space that will be advertised using new ASN. We’ll also require peering information for your BGP peering partners.
We simplify the procedure by providing advice on RIPE object generation, IP Space, and Peering Partner needs.

In accordance with RIPE policy, your company must sign the "Assignment Request and Maintenance Contract" before we can begin working on your ASN application.
To further verify your identity, we need to see your company's incorporation papers, a government-issued ID card, or, in the case of an individual, a passport.
Valid company registration documents are:
Certificate of Incorporation;
Recent (no older than three (3) months) business register prints.
If your documents are older than three (3) months, you will additionally need to present a Certificate of Good Standing for the company provided by the local authorities.
If your company's official documents are not issued in English, a certified translation may be required by RIPE. For EU-based companies, this isn't typically required. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Getting an ASN from RIPE typically takes two business days. The clock will start ticking after we've sent in the ASN Request to RIPE on your behalf.
However, before we submit your ASN request to RIPE, we must acquire all of the necessary papers (such as the firm registration certificate, signed RIPE Sponsorship Agreement, and payment of the fee).
The entire procedure typically takes around a week to complete.

Currently, RIPE only assigns 32-bit ASNs, but LIR SERVICES can apply for a 16-bit ASN on your behalf provided you provide sufficient explanation.
Your organisation's or your upstream provider's use of network equipment that does not support 32-bit ASNs is an example of a valid explanation.

Organisations seeking an ASN Number from RIPE must currently possess either a /24 of IPv4 address space or a /48 of IPv6 address space.
We also provide IP Address Lease for businesses who do not now have their own IP address space.
We also offer a /48 IPv6 PA subnet with your ASN registration if that works better for you. As long as we continue to support your ASN, use of this subnet is free.
