The owner and admin contact address should be in France.

Trustee/proxy or mail forwarding services will do.

I've worked with several registrars, and I find EuroDNS the least difficult to deal with, mainly because Freddy there does such a great job: he's very responsive and helpful (pm me if you need his email address).

Depending on your needs, there are other registrars which are cheaper, eg. gandi.net

it's probably their ill-conceived "fraud detection".

These systems will usually flag everyone with an IP address in Asia and a whois address in a different place as fraudulent. It's annoying and not very professional, but it can be sorted out.

it can be worked out :) contact them and explain that your registration is legitimate. they're just a bit paranoid.

I remember Eurodns has been sued by the registry (Afnic) in the past because of that. I'm not sure it's a good idea to do that.
Freddy ?

Eurodns used the same proxy for thousands of domains (Laurent Nunenthal; try a google search). AFNIC felt that was too much...

A family member living in France as a proxy for a few domains will work just fine. :)

we like Creditcards from asia. :)
we like all Creditcards.
the point is if we see a Creditcard first time, doesnt matter which country, we are a bit more careful.

by the way, this issue is solved.

but tons of the names have been deleted by the registry.
at least a few survived.

Freddy you had a nice deal on .fr not too long ago. Any chance of having one in the near future?
