How to Change IP-Geo for Leased IP-Blocks

This guide explains how a Customer can request a change of the IP-Geo (the country a block is geolocated to) for IP-Blocks held under an active lease contract. For the concept itself — what IP-Geo is and how geolocation providers determine it — see IP-Geo in the glossary.

A request is created by you, then reviewed by an InterLIR manager. Until a manager processes it, you can cancel it yourself. After a manager approves it, InterLIR submits the request to the Geo services; the final decision on the geolocation change is made by those services.

🛈 IP-Geo change is available only for IP-Blocks in a lease contract with status Active.

1. Start a Bulk IP Geo Change from the Orders page

Go to your leased resources:

📍 IPv4 Resources → IP-Blocks → Leased IPs
🔗 https://portal.interlir.com/inetnums

🛈 If needed, switch to the Leased IPs tab to view the page with your lease contracts.

Above the table, use the Bulk IP Geo Change button to request a Geo change across one or more contracts at once.

Select one or more lease contracts using the checkboxes in the table.
The Bulk IP Geo Change button is enabled only when at least one selected contract is in status Active.
If you select both Active and non-Active contracts, only the IP-blocks from the Active contracts are included — non-active contracts are ignored in the bulk flow.

🛈 If none of the selected contracts contain IP-blocks available for a Geo change, you will see a message that there are no available IP-blocks for a request.

Clicking Bulk IP Geo Change opens a modal window that lists the IP-blocks from all selected active contracts. You stay on the current page — because several contracts can be selected at once, you are not redirected to a single contract's details.

The table in the modal has the following columns:

Column	Description
Checkbox	Selects the IP-block to include in the request. Disabled when the block is not available for a new request.
IP-block	The IP-block from the selected contract.
Current Geo	The current IP-Geo value.
Preferred Geo	Selector for the requested Geo country (or the value of the current request).
Request status	The current status of the block in the Geo-change flow.

Select the IP-blocks, choose a Preferred Geo for each, and submit the request with Make request.

3. Change Geo in the contract details

You can also request a Geo change for a single contract from its details page. Open Details for a lease contract and scroll to the Change Geo section, located between the Invoices section and the Contract cancellation section.

The Change Geo table works like the block-cancellation table on the same page (see How to Cancel an Order or Individual IP-Blocks), but is adapted to the IP-Geo change flow: it lists the IP-blocks from that one contract and lets you submit a request for the blocks that are available for it.

🛈 Use the Change Geo section for requests within a single contract, and the Bulk IP Geo Change modal (Step 1) for requests spanning several contracts.

4. Selecting a Preferred Geo

For each block that is available for a request, open the Preferred Geo selector and pick a country from the list. The selector opens on click and behaves like the existing country selector used elsewhere on the platform (for example when importing a public ASN).

The Preferred Geo selector is:

active when the block is in a lease contract and has no active request;
disabled when the block is canceled, is being canceled, or the block's status is Pending review or Geo change unavailable.

5. Submitting a request

The Make request button becomes active only when:

at least one IP-block is selected;
a Preferred Geo is chosen for every selected block;
the chosen Preferred Geo differs from the block's Current Geo;
the selected blocks are available for a new request (status Request available or Submitted to Geo services).

After a successful submission:

a request is created and the selected IP-blocks move to status Pending review;
the checkbox for those blocks becomes disabled;
the selected Preferred Geo is shown as a fixed value and can no longer be changed;
a Cancel request button appears in the Actions column.

6. Request statuses

Each IP-block shows a single current action status in the table (not the full request history):

UI status	Meaning	What you can do
`Request available`	A Geo change can be requested for the block.	Checkbox active.
`Pending review`	You submitted a request; a manager has not processed it yet.	Checkbox disabled; Cancel request available.
`Submitted to Geo services`	A manager approved the request and InterLIR sent it to the Geo services.	Shown as a successful status (green / checkmark); you can create a new request.
`Geo change unavailable`	A Geo change is not available for the block.	Checkbox disabled.

7. Canceling a request

You can cancel a request only while it is in status Pending review. Use the Cancel request button in the Actions column of the Change Geo table (or the Bulk modal).

After cancellation:

the request gets status cancelled_by_user;
the IP-block returns to Request available (if it has no other active restrictions);
the checkbox becomes active again and the Preferred Geo selector becomes editable again;
the manager no longer needs to process the request.

When a Geo change is unavailable

If a block shows Geo change unavailable, its checkbox and Preferred Geo selector are disabled, no request can be submitted, and no Cancel request button is shown. Common reasons include:

the block is not in an active contract, is canceled, or is being canceled;
the block is suspended, archived, or expired;
a Geo change is not supported for the block, or required data is missing;
there are restrictions from the supplier, the registry, or internal InterLIR rules.
