This page shows examples of EPP XML sequences between an EPP client and the EPP server.
Change history
- 2025-11-18: Domain-renew and Domain-create sequences revised, response now include exDate.
- 2025-04-11: Host update sequence corrected.
- 2023-05-16: A few minor corrections.
- 2021-08-24: The newest version of the applicant declaration (applicant dataset version) is now version 3.2, and must be used instead of the example value.
- 2019-12-10: The newest version of the applicant declaration (applicant dataset version) is now version 3.1, and must be used instead of the example value.
- 2018-08-07:
Updated three of the sequences to show use of the most recent personal declaration, version 3.0:- Domain create
- Domain info showing the created domain
- Domain update of applicant dataset only Please note that other examples may use version 2.0, but in practice, version 2.0 may be rejected. If that happens, use 3.0 instead.
- 2018-05-14:
Sequences for new data model is standard, and sequences for old model were removed. The number of sequences is therefore reduced.
The examples are mostly dumped via a Net::DRI command line client developed for .no, but for service messages, the web client for EPP and the client’s log function has also been used.
Please note: The sequences contain example data only. All texts are in English.
