Billing, Payment and Fees
Membership Fees
RIPE NCC members pay an annual contribution (service fee) per Local Internet Registry (LIR). For 2023, this fee is €1,550. 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 €50 per independent assignment or legacy resource.
The membership fee is based on the current RIPE NCC Charging Scheme, which was approved by the membership at the RIPE NCC General Meeting.
