What to know about requesting multiple static IPs

When your business needs 6 or more static IP addresses, certain regulatory requirements apply to ensure these limited resources are allocated fairly and efficiently.


Why regulatory forms are required

  • Resource management – IP addresses are limited resources managed by regulatory bodies.

  • Justification – Providers must document how multiple IPs will be used to prevent waste or misuse.


When forms are needed

If you request 6 or more static IPs, your provider may ask you to complete forms that include:

  • Business justification – A clear explanation of why multiple addresses are needed.

  • Usage details – How each IP address will be assigned within your organization.


Process overview

  • Request submission – Your internet service provider supplies the necessary forms.

  • Documentation – You provide detailed information on business use and allocation.

  • Approval – Forms are reviewed before the IPs are assigned.


Next steps

  • Evaluate needs – Confirm how many IPs your business truly requires.

  • Prepare documentation – Be ready with usage details and justifications.

  • Submit forms – Work with your provider to complete and submit the paperwork.


By understanding this process, your business can stay compliant while securing the IP addresses you need.
