    • RIPE NCC Billing Procedure 2025 introduces a $27 increase for IPv4/IPv6 PI assignments and a new $54 fee for AS numbers.
    • Invoices to be issued in early 2025; redistribution of excess 2024 contributions will be applied where applicable.

    What happened

    The RIPE NCC has unveiled its updated Billing Procedure for 2025, introducing adjustments to its Charging Scheme. Key changes include a €25 (around $27) increase in fees for internet number resources like IPv4 and IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignments. A new annual fee of €50 (around $54) per Autonomous System (AS) number will also come into effect.

    These updates align with the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025, which standardises contributions from members based on their Local Internet Registry (LIR) accounts. The changes impact both new and existing members, with fees encompassing service costs, independent resources, and optional add-ons.

    Invoices reflecting these changes are set to roll out at the beginning of 2025, with members urged to ensure their billing details are accurate to avoid delays. Additionally, redistribution of excess contributions from 2024 will be credited to active members’ accounts, calculated proportionally based on their previous payments.

    Why this is important

    The updated RIPE NCC Billing Procedure 2025 represents more than just a fee adjustment; it reflects the association’s effort to sustain operational costs and adapt to evolving resource demands. For businesses reliant on IP address management and internet resources, understanding these changes is critical to budgeting for the year ahead.

    The introduction of fees for AS numbers and the increase for PI assignments may particularly affect members with multiple accounts or legacy internet resources. While the redistribution of excess contributions offers some financial relief, members will need to account for these additional costs when planning resource expansions or organisational growth in 2025.

    RIPE NCC’s emphasis on timely payments and accurate billing information highlights the need for proactive member engagement. Non-compliance or payment delays could lead to service interruptions or resource deregistration, potentially impacting internet operations for affected organisations.
