Brexit and .fr domain names
Since the entry into force of Brexit, natural persons residing in the United Kingdom and legal persons having their registered office in this territory can no longer request the registration of a .fr domain name.

Thus, since the entry into force of Brexit, natural persons residing in the United Kingdom and legal persons having their registered office in this territory, can no longer request the registration of a .fr domain name.
For people who held a .fr domain name before Brexit came into effect, this does not change anything and they do not need to change their address, as the rules are not retroactive.
