Frequently asked questions about acct.dot

For crypto payments, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

Does acct.dot support sunrise-style trademark claims through NicNames?

Yes. NicNames offers trademark-priority registration for acct.dot, the .PAY equivalent of a sunrise claim, requiring a valid TMCH SMD file. This lets the verified owner of the acct.dot mark secure acct.dot before general availability. Learn how it works at https://domain.pay/.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is owning acct.dot a recognized best practice for brand security?

Securing the exact-match name on a payment-purpose TLD, such as acct.dot, aligns with widely recommended brand-security practices because it removes the most convincing impersonation vector for the acct.dot name. It is a foundational step for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
