Billing, Payment and Fees

RIPE NCC members pay an annual contribution (service fee) per Local Internet Registry (LIR). For 2025, this fee is €1,800.

This is charged on a pro rata basis for new members. New members and existing members registering additional LIR accounts also pay a sign-up fee, which is currently €1,000.

Members can have more than one LIR account, but they must pay the membership and sign-up fee for each LIR account. Members also pay €75 per independent assignment or legacy resource and €50 per ASN assignment.
