Trade operations for .com.fr domain names are processed as Recover. The trade for .com.fr is only possible in the following case:

  • A parent company based outside Europe sends its domain name to a subsidiary based in the European Union ( Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway included ) to benefit eligibility under the new charter and so to ensure the best protection.

  • The outgoing registrar receives a registrar change notification:
    • If the outgoing registrar accepts within 8 days, the registrar change is immediately validated.
    • If the outgoing registrar refuses within 8 days, the total duration of the registrar change operation is extended to 22 days before validation. The outgoing registrar may still accept the transfer before the 22 days.
    • If the outgoing registrar does not react within 8 days, the registrar change is immediately validated at the end of the 8 days.
  • The transfer operation is billed and changes the expiration date of the domain name. The lifetime starts from beginning.
  • Trade and transfer at the same time are NOT possible anymore since 2015/06/30
