When the application is received by the LBDR, all the specified name servers must be set up correctly to resolve as authoritative name servers for the domain name. Only domains that are fully delegated are registered.
  2. The name servers for the applied for domain must be identified by the domain name and if the name server is a host under the applied for domain name then the Registrant or its Registrar must provide the name server IP address.
  3. The name servers may be run by the applicant organization or another party on behalf of the applicant/Registrant.
  1. The LBDR procedures follow basic principles of independence and equitable treatment. Most of the procedures are automated and system driven. See the description of the Procedures under clause 11.
  2. If the application is approved, the Registrar and Registrant are automatically notified via email and the Registrant is directed to verify the application details, accept the LBDR Domain Registration Policy and request the activation of the domain.
  3. If the LBDR rejects a correctly filed application for registering a new domain name, or updating the record of a domain, the LBDR informs the Registrar and Registrant via email.

  5. The LBDR might change its decision on its own initiative but will normally not change it to the disadvantage of the applicant/Registrant.
  1. Registration of a new domain name
    1. When a Registrant requests the registration of an LBDR domain name via an LBDR accredited Registrar and fulfills the domain name registration requirements, the LBDR Registration System (or system) automatically changes the domain status to “Pending Activation”, sets the domain creation date to the current date, expiry date to creation date plus the number of registered years (minimum one year), and informs via email the Registrant that the Registry received and approved the application and that the domain will be activated after he/she validates online the provided Registrant contact details and accepts the LBDR Domain Name Registration Policy.
    2. If the Registrant validates the Registrant Contact details and accepts the LBDR terms, the LBDR Registration System (or system) automatically changes the domain status to “Active” and adds the domain name to the zone file. The domain name should propagate to the .lb secondary DNS servers within 2 hours from the activation time.
    3. If the Registrant declines to approve the LBDR Domain Name Registration Policy and terms and requests the cancellation of the domain registration request, the system automatically informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. If the Registrar requests the deletion of the domain name within the “Registration Grace Period”, the system deletes the domain and refunds the registration fee otherwise the domain will be deleted without reimbursement.
  2. Renewal of a domain name registration
    1. If a domain registration is not renewed the Domain Allocation Period will expire.
    2. Upon expiry of the Domain Allocation Period, the system automatically changes the domain status to “Renew Grace Period” and informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. The LBDR’s “Renew Grace Period” is 30 calendar days and during that period the domain is still active and can be renewed by the Registrar.
    3. If the domain registration is not renewed by the Registrar during the “Renew Grace Period”, the system automatically changes the domain status to “Redemption Period” and informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. The LBDR’s “Redemption Period” is 30 calendar days and during that period the domain is not active but can be restored by the Registrar.
    4. If the domain registration is not renewed by the Registrar during the “Redemption Period”, the system automatically changes the domain status to “Delete Pending period” and informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. The LBDR’s “Delete Pending period” is 60 calendar days during that period the domain is not active and can be restored by the Registry.  The system automatically charges a restore penalty fee.
    5. If the domain registration is not restored during the “Delete Pending period”, the system automatically changes the domain to status to “Deleted” and informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. The system deletes the domain name.
    6. The domain name can be request by any new applicant and registered by any accredited Registrar.
    7. Appendix-C provides detailed description of the LBDR Domain Name Life Cycle
  3. Domain change request
    1. The Registrar must update the LBDR Registration System but entering all changes in the domain registered information, no later than 14 days from receiving the notice of change from the Registrant. This applies to changes in both technical information and contact information. The Registrar initiates all of the domain updates on the LBDR Registration system.
    2. Update or change of a Registrant’s record are treated as change of Registrant and create a new Registrant record. The LBDR does not permit changes to the Registrant’s organization. The Change Registrant workflow consists of automatic system actions and email notifications and manual interventions by the domain Registrar and the Registry:
      1. The domain Registrar initiates the change Registrant request on the LBDR Registration system and enters the new information and uploads the relevant supporting documents (the relevant document listed under clause 6.4)
      2. The LBDR Registry System emails an automatic “Registrant Change Request” to the Registrar, Current Registrant and New Registrant informing them that a request to change the Registrant details for the domain was requested by the Registrar.
      3. The Registry Approver assesses the “Domain Pending Registrant Change”, might communicate with the Registrar to request additional info and support documents. Accordingly, the LBDR Registry Approves or Rejects the Registrant change request.
      4. The LBDR Registry System emails the “Registrant Change Approved” or “Registrant Change Rejected” notice to the Registrar, Current Registrant and New Registrant informing them of the action.
      5. If the Registrant change request stays unresolved for more than 14 days, the System auto declines the request and sends an automatic “Registrant Change TimeOut” email to the Registrar, Current Registrant and New Registrant informing them that the requites was rejected.
    3. Update of domain name servers is initiated by the Registrar, by adding and/or deleting a new name server, the system checks the validity of the name server and if valid accepts the change. The change takes effect instantaneously with the next zone generation cycle and propagates to the zone DNS servers within two hours.
    4. Updates and changes of administrative, technical and billing contacts are initiated by the Registrars, validated by the system and approved automatically.
    5. Any substitution or modification of the domain name is not regarded as a change, but as a new registration. This means that a new domain name must be submitted.
  4. Change of registrar – Transfer of domain
    1. The domain name is independent of the Registrar or other service providers, and the domain name Registrant may freely change Registrar. The Registrant may choose to ask the present/loosing Registrar to issue a transfer authentication code for the domain. This Registrant must provide the new/gaining Registrar with authentication code to be entered by the gaining Registrar on the LBDR Registration system while requesting the transfer of domain.
    2. If the domain name Registrant wants to change registrar, the present/loosing Registrar is obliged to give the Registrant the authentication code, free of charge, within 5 working days.
    3. The LBDR Registration system will email “Transfer Request”, “Transfer Approval”, “Transfer Rejection by Registrar”, Transfer Timeout” notifications to the Registrant and Registrars to confirm that the transfer has been carried out or rejected.
    4. If a Registrar gives up the responsibility for a domain, it will be moved to an “empty” registrar. The LBDR will inform the domain name Registrant by email for the need to transfer the domain to anew Registrar. The same process applies to domains attached to a Registrar that ceased to exist, looses its accreditation, or terminates its contractual agreement with the LBDR.
  5. Deletion of a domain
    1. The domain name Registrant may request via its Registrar the deletion of a domain name. The system automatically changes the domain status to “Delete Pending” and informs via email, both the Registrant and its Registrar. The system notifies also the Registry.
    2. The LBDR’s “Delete Pending period” is 30 calendar days. During that period the domain is not active and not available for registration. Deletion does not entail any right to a refund of the paid fees paid.
  6. Compulsory deletion of a domain
    1. The following conditions may cause the LBDR to delete a domain name so that the domain name becomes available to others:
    2. A claim for deletion in accordance with a final judgement regarding deletion of the domain name. The LBDR will park the domain name for 90 calendar days before it is made available for other applicants.
    3. A claim for deletion in accordance with a final judgement regarding confiscation of domain names in criminal cases. The LBDR may put the domain in quarantine for 90 calendar days before it is made available for other applicants.
    4. A claim for deletion in accordance with an interim court order. The LBDR may put the domain in quarantine for 90 calendar days before it is made available for other applicants, provided that the LBDR has not received a court decision or a settlement for a different solution.
    5. The registration was based on incorrect information provided by or on behalf of the applicant/Registrant. Lack of a signed LBDR-A form and/or the required supporting documents is regarded as incorrect information. The Registrant of the domain name shall be given an opportunity to respond and rectify the situation before deletion takes place.
    6. The Registrant does no longer exist. The meaning of that is that the Registrant Organization lost its official status.
    7. Insufficient payment of registration fees or annual fees after the deadline specified and the “Delete Pending Period” has expired.
    8. The domain is not technically operative. This means that the domain name servers do not resolve for the domain as authoritative name servers. The Registrant of the domain name shall be given an opportunity to respond and rectify the situation before deletion takes place.
    9. The Registrant contact of the domain name cannot be reached.
    10. The domain name registration expired, and the domain name was registered before 01/02/2021 based on a Lebanese Trademark under class 35 (Internet domain name). The LBDR will park the domain name for 365 calendar days before it is made available for other applicants.
    11. Any situation that involves non-fulfilment of the Registrant’s responsibility or duties in accordance with the LBDR Domain Name Policy and Procedure.
    12. Claims for compulsory deletion of a domain name must be submitted in writing by email (with all relevant supporting documents) to admin@lbdr.org.lb. If requested by the LBDR, the claims and original (or certified) supporting documents must be delivered via registered mail to the Registry postal address. This also applies for answers from the Registrant and documentation which shows that there is a legal dispute on the use of the domain name.
  7. Compulsory suspension of a domain
    1. The following circumstances may cause the LBDR to suspend (domain not active) a domain name:
    2. A written court decision which states that a domain should be confiscated in a criminal case, or a written decision from the Prosecution General which states that the domain should be confiscates and suspended. The domain will be suspended for the duration of the Domain Allocation Period. If the domain registration is not renewed by the Registrant or by other (Prosecution Authority or else), then the domain will be deleted by the LBDR in compliance with clause 11.2 (Renewal of domain name registration).
    3. Claim for suspension in accordance with an interim court order. Suspension does not affect the Registrant’s responsibility for payment of the domain name registration renewal fees. The domain will be suspended for the duration of the Domain Allocation Period. If the domain registration is not renewed by the Registrant, then the domain will be deleted by the LBDR in compliance with clause 11.2 (Renewal of domain name registration).
    4. Claims for compulsory suspension of a domain name must be submitted in writing by email (with all relevant supporting documents) to admin@lbdr.org.lb. If requested by the LBDR, the claims and original (or certified) supporting documents must be delivered via registered mail to the Registry postal address. This also applies for answers from the Registrant and documentation which shows that there is a legal dispute on the use of the domain name.
  8. Compulsory transfer of domain name Registrant
    1. The following circumstances may cause the LBDR to transfer a domain name without written approval from the Registrant to a new applicant:
    2. Claim for transfer of the domain in accordance with a court decision or interim court order which states that a domain name should be transferred from the Registrant to another party (new applicant). The LBDR will delete the domain name and accept and process a new domain name registration request from the new applicant. The new application will be treated by the LBDR as a new domain name registration request.
    3. Claim for reversal of a domain that has been transferred based on false information supplied by or on behalf of the Registrant. Claim for reversal must be raised no later than one year after the change of Registrant took place. The Registry should notify the new Registrant within 15 calendar days from the date it received the written claim for reversal. The new Registrant is given 15 calendar days to respond before the transfer is executed.
    4. Claims for compulsory change of domain Registrant must be submitted in writing by email (with all relevant supporting documents) to admin@lbdr.org.lb. If requested by the LBDR, the claims and original (or certified) supporting documents must be delivered via registered mail to the Registry postal address. This also applies for answers from the Registrant and documentation which shows that there is a legal dispute on the use of the domain name.
  1. Registration of a domain name entails a one-time registration fee, in addition to annual renewal fees. Applicant/Registrant can pay for multiple years in advance.

The applicant must sign an LBDR Domain Name Request and Agreement (Form LBDR-A) certifying inter alia that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the registration or use of the name does not violate any third party’s registered or unregistered rights to the name, does not violate Lebanese law, and does not create an unwarranted impression of being a representative of a private entity or associated with public-sector administration.
  3. The applicant agrees that the registry may withdraw an assigned domain name when it is obvious that the assignment conflicts with conditions that have been mentioned or with the terms and conditions in any other way. The declaration is signed physically and collected via a registrar and electronically upon the activation of the domain name.
  4. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the registration of the domain name does not violate the terms and conditions, Lebanese law, or the rights of third parties.

  1. The LBDR collects and processes data about domain name applicants/Registrants in order to ensure that organisations and private individuals can subscribe to .lb ccTLD domain names and maintain the subscription in a way that contributes to a robust operation of the Internet as an infrastructure.
  2. The LBDR operates a lookup (WHOIS) service where the public can look up a domain name and find information about the delegation, the Registrant, the technical contact person and the technical setup, and who the Registrar for the domain is. The WHOIS service provides the domain information as provided by the applicant in the LBDR Domain Name Request and Agreement (Form LBDR-A). In addition, the WHOIS service provides delegation and EPP Status information about the domain name ( see EPP status codes on EPP status Codes .
  3. The purpose of the WHOIS service is to contribute and facilitate the solving of technical issues, where a given domain name is causing functionality, security, or stability problems to other domains or to the Internet infrastructure. The WHOIS gives the public a way to contact the domain name Registrant.
  4. Historical data about the domain name Registrants will be archived for the purposes of research and statistical analysis. Such information will not be made accessible to anyone other than whoever was the domain name Registrant at the time the information was valid, or with permission from the Registrant, unless otherwise stated through law or court decision.
  5. Some of the information processed by the LBDR is data that can be linked to individual persons and that is considered personal data. Further details on this are provided in LBDR privacy documents.
