A .fr domain name is France's official country code top-level domain (ccTLD). This domain extension is primarily designed for businesses and individuals operating in France.

Key Registration Requirements:

• Must have a physical presence or operations in France
• Available through domain registrars like Tucows and Key-Systems
• One-year registration period for new transfers

Expiration and Renewal:

• 30-day grace period for renewal after expiration
• No 5-day cancellation grace period
• No refunds available once registered
• Renewal date changes to match transfer completion date when moving to a new registrar

Important Considerations:

• New transfers receive a fresh one-year registration period
• Previous registration time doesn't carry over during transfers
• Double-check domain name accuracy before registering
• Verify registration requirements are met before purchase

For Domain Expiration:

Tucows Registrar:

• 30-day grace period for renewal requests
• Must contact Tucows directly for renewal
• Domains return to registrar after expiration

Key-Systems Registrar:

• Approximately 30-day renewal window
• Domain must be renewed before dashboard removal
• Contact support for possible reactivation if renewal window missed

Note: These rules apply specifically to .fr domain registration and transfers. Different guidelines may apply when connecting an existing .fr domain from a third-party provider.
