.fr is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for France. Along with .re and .tf, it is administered by AFNIC.

There also exist a number of second-level domains:

  • .tm.fr - for owners of trademarks
  • .asso.fr - for associations
  • .nom.fr - for surnames
  • .prd.fr - for research and development programs
  • .presse.fr - for press publications
  • .com.fr - open to all applicants without justification of the requested name
  • .gouv.fr - for the French administration

Apart from these six second-level domains AFNIC also reserves the right to introduce sector-based second-level domains. An example therefore would be the .gouv.fr domain reserved to identify the web addresses of French governmental institutions.

Registrations are processed via accredited registrars.
