Editing Extensible Provisioning Protocol (section)

== Example ==
An example command to create a domain could look like this:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<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>example.com</domain:name>
        <domain:period unit="y">1</domain:period>
        <domain:ns>
          <domain:hostObj>ns1.example.net</domain:hostObj>
          <domain:hostObj>ns2.example.net</domain:hostObj>
        </domain:ns>
        <domain:registrant>REG-1738</domain:registrant>
        <domain:contact type="admin">ADM-9374</domain:contact>
        <domain:contact type="tech">OTH-2567</domain:contact>
        <domain:contact type="billing">OTH-2567</domain:contact>
        <domain:authInfo>
          <domain:pw>y85NS%FJ4zeKuHXo</domain:pw>
        </domain:authInfo>
      </domain:create>
    </create>
    <clTRID>uu28qbb2wo6o5bpk</clTRID>
  </command>
</epp>
</syntaxhighlight>Note that the two host objects and three different contact objects had to be created beforehand to use them and the client had to be logged in already. The [[Transfer secret|authInfo pw]] is a secret required in the transfer between registrars. The clTRID is a unique transaction ID for each command the client generates.

A server response to the command above could look like this:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
  <response>
    <result code="1000">
      <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
    </result>
    <resData>
      <domain:creData
       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
        <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
        <domain:crDate>2023-03-12T12:00:00.0Z</domain:crDate>
        <domain:exDate>2024-03-12T12:00:00.0Z</domain:exDate>
      </domain:creData>
    </resData>
    <trID>
      <clTRID>uu28qbb2wo6o5bpk</clTRID>
      <svTRID>ma3fuaeuh7bzpgv9</svTRID>
    </trID>
  </response>
</epp>
</syntaxhighlight>The clTRID is the same as the client sent, while the svTRID is a unique transaction ID the server generates. The server returns a result code, message, and additional result data, such as the expiration date of the newly created domain.
