Requirements

In order to purchase and use a .fr domain, they must be a resident of the European Union or an EFTA member state (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein). [2]

British restrictions

Due to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, since 1 January 2021 UK residents are not able to register new .fr domains. However, the AFNIC has stated that all domains registered before 31 December 2020 by Britons will not be affected. [3]

Registration

The domain includes all individuals and organizations registered at the Association française pour le nommage Internet en coopération (AFNIC). [4]

Since 2004, websites registered with the .fr domain are archived and preserved by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. [5]
