For protecting private life and avoiding spamming, any individual may register a .fr domain name anonymously.
The AFNIC now allows a « divulgation form » to be filed for private disclosing of the identity of the domain name owner. Disclosure is only made if legitimate rights are evidenced and if obvious infringement is proved.
This possibility avoids legal requests to be made for divulgation only and enlarges the direct contact approach for amicable settlement purposes.
