Procedure for transferring .FR domain name

Requirements
To initiate the transfer of a .FR domain name, you will be asked to provide an authorization code (AuthID). You can obtain this from your current reseller or your domain name's registrar.

In order to proceed with the transfer, the current registrar must accept the transfer. So you must notify the current registrar of your wish to change the registrar to "NETIM".

Different stages
Once your order has been confirmed, we will send a request for the transfer of your domain name to the registry with the autorization code. Then the registry will ask for the current registrar to accept the request. The latter must approve the request within 15 days:

• In the event of acceptance within 15 days, the transfer is immediatly carried out.
• In the event of refusal within 15 days, the initial time-frame is brought to six weeks, during which time the registrar still has the right to agree or ask a manual approval by the registry.
• If no reply is received at end of the initial 15-days period, the transfer is carried out.

Once the transfer has been finalised, the domain name's expiration date is extended for a one year period starting from the date of the end of transfer. For example, if the domain expires on the 12/31/2008 and if the transfer is carried out on the 09/15/2008, the new expiration date will then be the 09/15/2009.

   Important information

• Deadline for transfer: 1week before your domain name's expiration date
• Ideal date for transfer: 2 weeks before expiration of your domain name
• The transfer will be proceeded with once agreement has been received from the current registrar, whatever phase the refusal request or agreement request is in.
