Autonomous System Numbers
We distribute ASNs according to policies by the RIPE community. Any individual or organisation can request ASNs, though a contractual agreement with the RIPE NCC will be required.
How to request an AS Number
To request an AS Number, you will need to have a contractual agreement with the RIPE NCC. To do this you will either need to become a member or find a sponsoring LIR.
If you are a member of the RIPE NCC you should:
- Log in to the LIR Portal with your LIR account and use the ASN request form there or;
- Use the Resource Request API that can be incorporated into your workflow
If you are not a member and choose to use a sponsoring LIR, they will submit the ASN request on your behalf.
Here is the information that the RIPE NCC requires for AS Number requests.
