**Featured Policy Requirement**
Direct assignments from ARIN to End-User organizations (NRPM 6.5.8)
Did you know that End-User organizations can easily qualify for an
initial IPv6 assignment? Under current policy, most organizations will
qualify for their first IPv6 assignment of a /48. Larger blocks are
issued on the nibble boundary (/44, /40, etc), and are justified by the
number of sites the organization has in their network. Have any
questions? Give our Registration Services team a call at 703.227.0660
or submit an Ask ARIN ticket from within your ARIN Online account.
**Tip from ARIN’s Registration Services Department**
“How long will my ticket take to be completed?” We get that question a
lot. ARIN staff reviews and responds to all tickets and correspondence
in the order they are received. We endeavor to reply within two
business days. The overall duration of a ticket will vary depending on
how much correspondence is required for your particular ticket.
Here are some tips that may help expedite the completion of your ticket:
- Ensure you thoroughly review and respond to all items asked of you by
ARIN staff within the ticket
- Ensure any necessary documents are attached to your ticket
- If you have any questions, you may want to give us a call at the Help
Desk for a quick conversation. Once all your questions have been
answered, be sure to provide your written response within the ticket.
- You can check the status of a ticket and review all correspondence
within a ticket in the Tickets and Messages section of your ARIN Online
account. You may want to check on a ticket to ensure ARIN staff is not
waiting for a response from you on that ticket.
**Tip from ARIN’s Financial Services Department**
How to Cancel and Return Resource(s) to ARIN
When your organization no longer needs and/or does not want to pay to
renew the Internet number resources directly registered to your
organization, those resources can be proactively returned to ARIN:
https://www.arin.net/resources/return_revoke.html#return
Returning IPv4 Addresses, IPv6 Addresses, or ASNs (Internet Number
Resources)
If you would like to return the Internet number resources, the following
steps are necessary to validate that is the true intention of your
company and that the person submitting the request has authority to act
on the company’s behalf to transact the return.
1. Log in to ARIN Online and create a ticket via Ask ARIN
(https://www.arin.net/public/communication/message/question.xhtml),
stating that you have Internet number resources you would like to
return. If you don’t have an ARIN Online account, you may create one by
visiting: https://www.arin.net/public/accountSetup.xhtml
2. Please provide your Organization ID (Org ID) and list each IPv4
address block, IPv6 address block, or ASN you would like to return.
3. Please include a signed and notarized document from an officer of
your organization with an acknowledgment of their return. This document
must include that he/she:
a. Authorizes the return of the resources to ARIN,
b. Permanently releases all registration rights to the resources, and
c. States his/her understanding that once the registration rights to
the resources are relinquished, they cannot be later reinstated.
4. An analyst will work with you to secure the return of the resources.
