A Letter of Agency (LOA) - sometimes referred to as a Letter of Authorization - is a document that authorizes Cloudflare to announce a prefix(es) on behalf of another entity. The LOA is required by Cloudflare's transit providers so they can accept the routes Cloudflare advertises on behalf of another entity.

The letter must contain both the prefixes you are authorizing Cloudflare to announce and which ASN they will be announced under. Cloudflare can announce a prefix under your ASN or you can use Cloudflare's ASN, which is AS13335.

- For all future onboardings, you must use AS13335. Current customers who are already using Cloudflare's AS209242 do not need to make any changes and can continue using that ASN.

When [onboarding your IPs](/byoip/get-started/), set `delegate_loa_creation` (in the [Add Prefix API call](/api/resources/addressing/subresources/prefixes/methods/create/)) to `true` . This will allow Cloudflare to automatically generate this document for you, speeding up the process.

## Auto-generated LOA
26+
27+
If you are onboarding your own IPs via the [self-serve flow](/byoip/get-started/), you can set `delegate_loa_creation` (in the [Add Prefix API call](/api/resources/addressing/subresources/prefixes/methods/create/)) to `true` . This will allow Cloudflare to automatically generate the LOA, speeding up the process.
28+
29+
Auto-generated LOAs rely on [RPKI-signed ROAs](/byoip/concepts/route-filtering-rpki/) and [ownership validation](/byoip/get-started/#validate-prefix-ownership) checks.
