Hi Jordi,

ARIN no longer contracts with natural persons, only businesses.

However, in the U.S. and Canada (I'm not sure about the Caribbean)
it's a trivial matter to establish a "sole proprietorship." Some
states don't even require registration; you simply declare it. In
others it requires filling out a form and paying a small fee. In both
cases, the individual's personal and business finances are mixed
together; there are no separate taxes or accounting or anything like
that. The sole proprietorship is a business which can contract with
ARIN and acquire IP addresses.

Look up AS11875 for an example of how this works.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
