.FR Registrations
.FR is the TLD for France, and is regulated by the AFNIC Registry. All .FR domains have a registration term of one year.
.FR prohibited and reserved names
AFNIC maintains a list of names that are not
available for registration. You can view a complete list of domains that
are prohibited or reserved by AFNIC at: http://www.afnic.fr/obtenir/chartes/fondamentaux_en.
Registrants can apply for names that are on this
list, and they will be allowed to register these names if they can prove
that they are entitled to them. When submitting a order for a
prohibited or reserved name, you must provide a detailed statement
(maximum 4000 characters) explaining the registrant’s interest in the
name*.
The request will then be sent to AFNIC’s legal
department, who will approve or deny the request If necessary, AFNIC may
require the registrant to provide follow-up documentation to
substantiate their claim. Please allow several days for processing.
*The registrant still needs to meet the usual “.FR Residency Requirements” and provide the required residency information in the Additional Owner Information section.
