NIR Inter-RIR transfer of unused IPv4 addresses and/or AS numbers

How to proceed

  1. The recipient entity of an NIR account needs to ask the source entity to contact their RIR to initiate the transfer of IPv4 and/or AS numbers (Internet number resources). APNIC will contact the recipient account’s NIR when APNIC has received a transfer request from another RIR.
  2. The source entity of an APNIC NIR account needs to contact their NIR with the information requested in the template below. Their NIR will submit their transfer request to APNIC on their behalf.
