Procedures
Registration:
.BI domain registration, including any third level domains, is open to everyone without any restriction.
Renewal:
Renewal procedure must be carried out before the domain's expiration date otherwise the domain will switch to a blocked status (not active) for 15 days. If the domain is not renewed at the end of this period, then it will switch to redemption status for another 30 days, during which it can be restored. If not, it will be definitely deleted.
Change of registrar:
To transfer a .BI domain, you need to obtain the authorization code with your current registrar.
As soon as the transfer is initiated by FranceDNS, if the authorization code is valid and if the domain status is transferrable, the transfer will be completed within one hour.
Once the transfer is finalized, the domain's expiration date is extended for 1 year.
Change of ownership:
To transfer the registrant of a .BI domain, you need to ensure that the current and new owner email adresses are active.
FranceDNS will contact both parties by email to obtain their agreement. Both will have 7 days to approve and reply. If a refusal or no reply is received during the timeframe, the request will be cancelled.
Once the transfer has been finalized, the domain name's expiration date is not updated.
