If you need a /32 ALLOCATION and want to do ASSIGNMENTS to downstream 
customers/3rd parties, you may need to become LIR yourself.

If you really need a /32 ASSIGNMENT for yourself, not for any 3rd 
parties, you might try to talk to another LIR to hand in the request for 
you.
But i doubt that you mean the latter :-)

You can ask any LIR to request an ASN for you. But you can't get it 
directly from RIPE without being a LIR (i.e. you need to hand in the 
request with help from an existing LIR, or become LIR yourself and talk 
directly to RIPE).

Try reading http://www.ripe.net/info/faq/ in whole for some further 
clues in general.
