  • In ARIN Online, go to Your Records > Organization Identifiers.
  • Click your Org Handle (which is the same as the Org ID).

  • Projections showing why additional space is needed. For guidance, see examples here.

An officer must sign an attestation confirming the truthfulness of the provided information to prevent hoarding. ARIN charges a fee of a few hundred dollars for this step.
