French and German Domain Names

    Is i possible to buy French and German domain names without a local presence? We have international delivery to France and Germany through relays and we are looking to register .fr and .de domains. However, registering .fr and .de domains requires local presence, which we do not have at the moment. Is is possible to still register the domains?

    That'll be great if we can find anyone offering such services. Do you know anyone who could do this?

    yes i have one .de .... achtung ! if you register a .de domain with Godaddy must use their nameservers or change them to sedo and back, don't recommend Godaddy for .DE ! i have a .de, i sell it for 10 euro only to sell it :( ( 3chars - 1number+2letters)

    I don't think you have to change any contact info, doesn't Godaddy automatically act as local contact for you?
