What this costs, and what it costs your sponsor
RIPE charges a member €50 a year for an AS number assignment and €75 for a provider-independent address assignment, on top of €1,800 for the membership itself — that is the 2026 Charging Scheme. Everything above it is the sponsor’s own price. These are their published figures, read on 22 August 2026:
| Sponsoring LIR | AS number / year | PI assignment / year | Their price page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bakker IT NL | €75 + €60 setup | €135 | check it |
| iFog CH | 77 CHF | 99 CHF | check it |
| Snapserv CH | €100 | €125 | check it |
| ServPerso BE | €100 + €40 setup | quoted | not linked |
| Ipregistry — | €120 | €240 | not linked |
| Via-Registry — | €130 | — | not linked |
Read from each sponsor’s own published price list on 2026-08-22, 3 days ago. iFog publishes in Swiss francs and the figures are its own, not a conversion. Where a row says “not linked”, the price was not re-read against the vendor’s page and should be checked before you rely on it.
Anchored Registry quotes rather than publishing a figure, because an AS number and an address assignment do not cost the same to sponsor and one number for both would overcharge somebody.

Be told before you find out the hard way
One message if AS218891 changes hands or changes sponsor.
RIPE publishes only the current database and no dated archive, so this is not something you can look up later — it is only knowable if somebody was watching. Free, no account, and a way out in every message.
Thinking of moving it?
A change of sponsoring LIR is a documented procedure. Nothing about your routing changes — no BGP session is involved — and RIPE charges nothing for the change itself. I am Tropynin Oleg, ORG-TO334-RIPE, a RIPE member with my own autonomous system AS41800. Look me up before writing to me.
