Request Form for IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier or 'company_id' (aka Ethernet address)

The OUI or 'company_id' can be used in conjunction with a number of standards. It does not limit your right to use your assignment for both OUI and 'company_id' purposes.


For more information about OUI/"company_id" assignments, please refer to the OUI Tutorial and the Frequently Asked Questions. An e-mail can also be sent to the IEEE Registration Authority.

To request an Organizationally Unique Identifier or 'company_id', please complete the below listed steps:

Search the OUI and IAB public listings to determine whether your company or any parent/subsidiary companies already own an assignment.
Complete and submit the OUI application.
Once the OUI application is successfully submitted, a confirmation e-mail with a tracking number and additional information will be sent to the Requestor*. All applications are processed within seven (7) working days from receipt of application and payment. Note: If there are any problems with the application (incomplete information, lack of usage percentage letter for existing assignment) or payment (declined, not received), the application will be placed on hold until the issue is rectified. All applications expire after 30 days.

*All correspondence regarding the purchase of the OUI assignment will go directly to the Requestor. The assignment details and Paid Invoice will be addressed to and sent to the Requestor. All correspondence with regards to the OUI once it is assigned is sent to the Administrator of the assignment.

* As of 5 December 2003, companies requesting confidentiality for Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUI) assignments will be required to pay a fee for privacy. Assignees will also be required to pay an annual fee to maintain confidentiality. Payment options for the renewal fee are credit card, check or wire transfer.

This single assignment applies to all of these:

A)
The OUI defined in ANSI/IEEE Std 802-2001 can be used to generate 48-bit Universal LAN MAC addresses to uniquely identify LAN and MAN stations, and Protocol Identifiers to identify public and private protocols. These are used in Local and Metropolitan Area Network applications. The relevant standards include:
CSMA/CD (IEEE 802.3, ISO 8802-3)

Token Bus (IEEE 802.4, ISO 8802-4)

Token Ring (IEEE 802.5, ISO/IEC 8802-5)

IEEE 802.6 (ISO/IEC DIS 8802-6) FDDI (ISO 9314-2)

WLAN (IEEE 802.11, ISO/IEC 8802-11)


B)
The 'company_id' relevant standards include: defined in IEEE Std 1212-1991 Control and Status Register (CSR) Architecture referenced by IEEE Std 896.2-1991 Futurebus+Physical Layers and Profiles

IEEE Std 1596-1992 Scalable Coherent Interface

IEEE Std 1394-1995 Serial Bus document. In this context, the 24-bit company_id value is a portion of the 32-bit Module_Vendor_Id ROM location (and related locations) and uniquely identifies hardware vendors and I/O software interface architectures.
ANSIX3.230-1994 Fibre Channel Standard

The IEEE Registration Authority will assign an additional OUI to any organization requesting one, providing they submit a letter on company letterhead to the IEEE Registration Authority c/o IEEE Standards Department, stating that their company will not "ship" product in the new block assignment until well after they have reached (shipped) at least 95% of the block assignment, in the context of a specified standard. Your company should ensure that large numbers of derived identifiers are not left unused.

The IEEE does not accept requests for applicant-specified identifiers.
