How and when do I request an allocation?

When approximately 80% of your first allocation is used up, you can then request an additional allocation. Send an email to hostmaster _at_ ripe _dot_ net with the keyword "NEWBLOCK" in the subject line.

Do not send a standard IP Address Space Request Form, but do supply us with a summary of ALL the assignments from your present allocation.

Requesting an additional allocation is covered on our "Quick Tips" page.

All the procedures involved in obtaining an additional allocation are covered in section 5.3.3 of the RIPE Document "IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies in the RIPE NCC Service Region", which is available from the RIPE Document Store.
