Requirements
Who can register a .pm?
- You can register and renew a .pm domain name if you're an individual living in a member state of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
- Organisations and companies are eligible if their head office or principal place of business is in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
- Registrants from the French overseas territories are also permitted, such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna and the French Southern Territories.
- Both the registrant and the administrative contact must have an address within the European Union. If either of them doesn't, a local address via a trustee service is possible, but only for both contacts together.
- The registrant and administrative contact must be reachable via a valid phone number and email address. Their identity details must be correct and kept up to date for as long as the domain name is active.
- Domain names of 1 or 2 letters or digits can't be registered under .pm.
- You can't register prohibited terms. These include offensive, racist and obscene terms and terms that refer to crimes or criminal offences.
- You can only register reserved terms under special conditions, depending on your identity or your rights. Examples include names of regulated professions, government terms, country names, names of international organisations and technical internet terms.
- French place names and names of the French Republic, its institutions, local authorities and incumbent officials are also reserved. The list of reserved names is available on the Afnic website.
- Following checks, Afnic may on its own initiative delete domain names that don't comply with the naming rules or eligibility requirements.
Additional details for registration
- If you're an individual, you provide your date of birth and country of birth.
- If you were born in France or a French overseas territory, you also provide your place of birth and its postcode, or at least the department code.
- As an individual, you can choose whether your personal details are visible in the whois.
- Organisations and companies can provide details for verifying the registrant in various ways, for example a SIREN or SIRET number, a VAT number, a DUNS number, a trade mark number or a registration number from a trade register in a country of the European Economic Area.
- If you use a SIREN or SIRET number, the company name in the registrant details must exactly match the name in the Infogreffe SIREN/SIRET database.
- An association can provide its Waldec number, and this is sufficient to identify it.
- An association can also provide its date of establishment, or the date of publication in the French Official Gazette (Journal Officiel) along with the number and page number of the announcement.
Documents
- If a parent company outside Europe wants to transfer a .com.fr domain name to a subsidiary within the European Union, a fully completed authorisation letter is required.
Good to know when registering
- Domain names under .com.fr, .asso.fr and .tm.fr can no longer be registered since 6 December 2012.
- If you use a trustee service for a local address, you can't use certificates for that domain name.
- If Afnic deletes a domain name because it doesn't comply with the rules, this happens immediately and without a redemption period. The domain name can then no longer be recovered.
Transfer
Transferring a .pm
- The new registrar requests the transfer using the transfer code you provided as the registrant.
- The current registrar is notified of the transfer. If it accepts within 8 days, the transfer goes ahead immediately. If it doesn't respond within 8 days, the transfer goes ahead after those 8 days.
- If the current registrar refuses within 8 days, the transfer takes 22 days in total. The current registrar can still accept the transfer within that period.
- When you transfer a domain, the expiry date changes because the term of the domain name starts again.
- The administrative contact must still be based in the European Union after the transfer.
- Since 30 June 2015, you can no longer carry out a transfer and a change of registrant at the same time.
The transfer code
- To transfer a domain, you need a transfer code. As the registrant, you give it to the new registrar.
- After a change of registrant, the transfer code is renewed. The new registrant receives the new code.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant is only possible if both the current and the new registrant agree. The registrar records this consent, for example via a confirmation email or an SMS code.
- A change of registrant is free of charge and the expiry date of the domain name stays the same.
- After the change, the old and new registrants are notified. The new registrant receives a new transfer code.
- For .com.fr, .asso.fr and .tm.fr domain names, you can in principle no longer change the registrant.
- There is one exception for .com.fr: a parent company outside Europe can transfer the domain name to a subsidiary in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. This requires an authorisation letter, after which Afnic issues an authorisation code.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- The eligibility requirements regarding residence or place of business also apply when renewing a .pm domain name.
- A cancelled .com.fr domain name can no longer be recovered.
- If Afnic deletes a domain name because it doesn't comply with the rules, there is no redemption period and you can't recover the domain name.
