I'm based in the UK but I have a client who is UK based but who wants to register amongst others domains .de and .fr How do I do this? I can manage all the usual .com/.co.uk but who do I use for country specific domains if neither I nor the client are actually resident in those countries? Do I need an address or agent in those countries (france and germany). Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

I think you may need to be a resident of France to register a '.fr' domain..

I would get someone to buy it for me who lives in those countries, then transfer the credit card and nameserver details to you

(May 25 05, 02:03)I think formlos may be right, if I remember correctly, a site we did hit a sticky point when we tried to reg a .fr domain, something about having to be a registered company in France to do this.
Bloody French ;)

Yes - that does appear to be the case. You need to have a French address for the .fr domains. Actually their system, although strict seems like it could be quite good in that you can't just set up a business domain unless you are qualified in that profession. So you can't set up an official architects site (from your bedroom say). Instead you have to be checked and confirmed that you are what you are claiming to be.
Thanks for all the comments.
