RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2027

Introduction

This Charging Scheme model is based on the principle that members pay an annual contribution (annual fee) calculated per Local Internet Registry (LIR) account.

This charging scheme continues the one LIR account, one fee model.

This model also extends the additional fee of EUR 75 per Legacy IPv4 resource registration to Legacy IPv4 resources under direct contractual relationship with the RIPE NCC.

Members also pay additional fees for independent resource registrations as defined in this document and continue to pay a one-time sign-up fee per new LIR account.

This model also introduces a change to Autonomous System Number (ASN) assignment fees, with the first ASN assignment registered to an LIR account included in the annual fee.

New members, or existing members opening additional LIR account(s), also pay an additional one-time sign-up fee per new LIR account alongside their annual contribution.

RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2027

This charging scheme option will increase the fee per LIR account to EUR 1,894.

ASN Fee

This model also introduces a change to Autonomous System Number (ASN) assignment fees.

The first ASN assignment registered to an LIR account is included in the annual fee. Any additional ASN assignments are charged at EUR 50.

Resources falling under this charge for ASN assignments are:

• INFRA ASN
• Sponsored ASN
• Legacy ASN resources registered under direct contractual relationship with the RIPE NCC
• Legacy ASN resource registrations through a sponsoring LIR

Independent Internet Number Resource Assignment Fee

The additional charge of EUR 75 per Independent Internet Number Resource Assignment registration remains.

Resources falling under this charge are:

• IPv4 and IPv6 PI assignments
• Anycast assignments
• IPv4 and IPv6 IXP assignments

Legacy IPv4 Internet Resource Fee for Members

The fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that engage in a direct agreement with the RIPE NCC is identical to the annual fee per LIR account (i.e. EUR 1,894).

Legacy IPv4 resource registrations through a sponsoring LIR will continue to be charged at EUR 75. From 2027, Legacy IPv4 resources registrations based on a direct contractual relationship with the RIPE NCC will also be charged at EUR 75.

There is no sign-up fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that conclude a separate direct agreement with the RIPE NCC.

There is no sign-up fee for Legacy Internet Resource Holders that become members and do not request any additional Internet number resources registered to their LIR account by the RIPE NCC.

If a Legacy Internet Resource Holder requests the registration of additional Internet number resources, subject to RIPE policy, after becoming a member, the sign-up fee will be charged at this later stage, and in a way identical to that in which the membership sign-up fee is charged.

Sign-up Fee

Members continue to pay a one-time sign-up fee of EUR 1,000 for each new LIR account.

Billing and Invoicing

The fees per LIR account for members will be determined based on data gathered on 31 December 2026. Invoices will be sent in January 2027.
