It has been suggested that this article be merged into Regional Internet registry. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2016.

A local Internet registry (LIR) is an organization that has been allocated a block of IP addresses by a regional Internet registry (RIR), and that assigns most parts of this block to its own customers.^[1] Most LIRs are Internet service providers, enterprises, or academic institutions. Membership in a Regional Internet registry is required to become an LIR.
