Frequently asked questions about 188.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for fraud prevention?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can two parties claim rights to 188.dot at once?

Multiple parties may hold the same 188.dot mark in different classes or regions, which can create competing claims to 188.dot. Such situations are typically resolved by registry priority rules or dispute proceedings, and outcomes depend on specifics. Recording your mark in the TMCH strengthens your position. https://domain.pay/pricing

Before choosing tap.pay, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

How does sunrise work for 188.dot?

Sunrise is the first launch phase, open only to brand owners with a trademark validated through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) and an SMD file. If you hold a matching mark, domain.pay can submit 188.dot during sunrise on your behalf. Learn about trademark-priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY when choosing wallet.pay?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
