To create a domain name

The EPP command is used with the launch phase extension including an SMD element:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
   <command>
      <create>
         <domain:create xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
            <domain:name>domain.example</domain:name>
            <domain:registrant>sh8013343ffff</domain:registrant>
            <domain:authInfo>
               <domain:pw>2fooBAR</domain:pw>
            </domain:authInfo>
         </domain:create>
      </create>
      <extension>
         <launch:create xmlns:launch="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0"     type="application">
            <launch:phase>sunrise</launch:phase>
            <smd:encodedSignedMark xmlns:smd="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0">BASE64_ENCODED_SMD</smd:encodedSignedMark>
         </launch:create>
      </extension>
      <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
   </command>
</epp>

Applications will be rejected if it is for a registered domain name, a reserved domain or a previous application has been received. If the application passes all checks then a ‘1000’ EPP code will be returned to the create command, with the application identifier included.

 

*At this point, the application has not been validated and the domain name is not yet registered.

domain:info command

EPP requests will return application details only if an application ID is provided in the ‘launchphase’ extension

Example domain:info request with application id:

<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
  <command>
    <info>
      <domain:info
          xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
        <domain:name>domain.example</domain:name>
      </domain:info>
    </info>
    <extension>
      <launch:info
        xmlns:launch="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0">
         <launch:phase>sunrise</launch:phase>
         <launch:applicationID>2411</launch:applicationID>
       </launch:info>
    </extension>
    <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
  </command>
</epp>

Domain names will be registered once the application is validated. Once validation is complete, a ‘Domain Application Successful’ notification (example below) is queued as a poll message:
