NIS2: Registrant Verification Afnic
Registrant Verification NIS2
In light of NIS2, AFNIC, the registry operator for .fr, .re, .tf, .yt, .pm, and .wf, is requiring us to introduce registrant email verification, effective January 16, 2025.
Here’s what you need to know:
Starting January 16, 2025, Ascio will leverage our existing gTLD Registrant Verification process for .fr, .re, .tf, .yt, .pm, and .wf domains, with two small modifications:
- Registrants have 30 to verify their email address instead of the standard 45 days
- The domain name will not be suspended if the registrant fails to complete verification
- This process will be triggered when a domain is registered or when a contact update order is processed. AFNIC is the first registry to announce this requirement, but we expect other ccTLD registries to announce similar changes.
