'''.fr''' is the [[Internet]] [[country code]] [[top-level domain]] ([[country code top-level domain|ccTLD]]) in the [[Domain Name System]] of the [[Internet]] for [[France]] administered by the [[AFNIC]]. 

==Requirements==
In order to purchase and use a .fr domain, they must be a resident of the [[European Union]] or an [[European Free Trade Association|EFTA]] member state ([[Switzerland]], [[Norway]], [[Iceland]] or [[Liechtenstein]]).<ref>{{Cite web|title=.FR domain policies|url=http://help.opensrs.com/hc/en-us/articles/204191603|access-date=2020-06-06|website=OpenSRS Help & Support|language=en-US}}</ref>

===British restrictions===
Due to the United Kingdom's [[Brexit|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.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Neylon|first=Michele|date=2020-05-27|title=Brexit Will Impact .EU and .FR Domains|url=https://blacknight.blog/brexit-will-impact-eu-and-fr-domains.html|access-date=2020-12-31|website=Hosting & Domains News|language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Registration ==
The domain includes all individuals and organizations registered at the [[Association française pour le nommage Internet en coopération]] (AFNIC).<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gayard|first=Laurent|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=meJVDwAAQBAJ&q=%22.fr%22+%22domain%22+-Registration+-buy+-purchase+-register+-Price&pg=PT32|title=Darknet: Geopolitics and Uses|date=2018-04-16|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-119-52249-2|language=en}}</ref>
