Maybe I'm confusing them with the government.

Ken,
Short answer is yes, we did something similar..
The best advice I can offer you is to call ARIN and speak to one of their
folks.
You will be pleasantly surprised.
Their mission is to make things work for you, as specified by the framework
of ARIN as an organization.
They are not the owners of IP's, but an organization belonging to the
members, and as such there are
there to serve the members.
If you have been paying your dues, then you are a member !
Nothing to fear, they cannot simply take stuff away....

Subject: [AFMUG] changing company name with ARIN
Has anyone ever done a company name change on your ARIN account? Any
chance
that could end badly? I'm actually not talking a name change, more like
consolidating 2 companies.
Years ago I formed a second corporation to acquire another ISP (in case
there were skeletons in the closet). The ARIN account is under the
original
corporate name, which I actually dissolved awhile back and everything now
operates under the new corporation. (Got tired of paying double to the
state, lawyer and accountant every year.)
Now that I applied for an IPv6 allocation, ARIN is saying no, they can't
find my organization name listed with the state.
If I tell ARIN the real story, could they do bad stuff like take back my
IPv4 allocation? Would I be better off doing something like listing the
old
name with the state as an official DBA under the new corporation? Given
the
wording I got from ARIN, I'm not sure that would satisfy them.
