Examples: Transfer Request Documentation

Overview

ARIN requires documentation as part of all Internet number resource transfer requests, often to demonstrate the need to receive resources, or to prove that resources you intend to release are properly registered to you.

To help make this process easier, we provide several types of documentation that may be required along with examples you can download. The examples are not intended to demonstrate how to meet specific policy requirements, but help to show the best format so that the documentation can be processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. The examples are in Microsoft Office formats, but other file formats may be submitted.

If you have any questions about these examples or about requesting a transfer, please contact Registration Services using Ask ARIN within ARIN Online, or by phone at 703.227.0660 Monday - Friday 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM ET.

For more requirements information, visit Transfer Resources.

Note: ARIN requires that all documentation data be accurate and verifiable. If we’re unable to verify the accuracy of the data provided, we may request additional information to verify your request data is accurate.
