Where does the expiry date come from?

From the domain’s WHOIS/RDAP record. It is the date the current registration term ends unless the domain is renewed.

What actually happens when a domain expires?

Most registrars offer a grace period, then a costly redemption/restore period, before the domain is released for anyone to register. A lapse can take a site and its email offline.

Can Domnr remind me before a domain expires?

Yes — add the domain to Domnr and get renewal alerts well ahead of the expiry date, across every registrar in one place.
