I can say that I recently completed the purchase of a large IPv6 block.
We've had several large V4 blocks for years and got them with very
little effort. For this block, we had to provide a detailed list of all
our physical locations as well as how the IP schema would be utilized. I
also had to provide site drawings (scrubbed visios) showing my topology
layout to justify my additional ASNs. It was not a harsh ordeal. ARIN
was very professional about it. But it was a lot more paperwork than
what I've needed in the past. None of it seemed unreasonable. We just
had to work out NDAs and whatnot so I could share more detailed
information with them.

If you are seeking an ISP allocation, then, reassignment (customer) information
is
in fact part of that utilization information.

Negative.. I have never had to provide end user information. I have been

and add-on to make it more difficult to prevent hoarding..

Anyone have any tips for getting IPs from ARIN? For an end-user
allocation
they are requesting that we provide customer names for existing
allocations,
which is information that will take a while to obtain. They are insisting
that this is standard process and something that everyone does when
requesting IPs. Has anyone actually had to do this?
Indeed. It's worked this way for a long time.
When starting a new organization, there's a bit of a chicken and egg
problem with IP space. If anyone could get IP space just for asking
for it, it would have been consumed too quickly. So, organizations
must first get some space assigned to them from an upstream provider
and begin using it.
At some point the current usage and growth rate of the assigned space
will justify a direct allocation.
Then, you can renumber into your new space and be totally independent.
