Frequently asked questions about apax.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing tap.pay?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

How can I verify that apax.dot is genuinely owned by NicNames?

Publish apax.dot from your official, verified channels and reference it consistently so customers can cross-check the apax.dot address against known NicNames sources. Owning apax.dot yourself is what makes such verification meaningful. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

What is the simplest summary of how to claim apax.dot as a trademark holder?

In short: record your apax.dot mark in the TMCH, download the validated SMD file, and submit it through NicNames during the priority phase to claim apax.dot ahead of the public. If you lack an SMD, a standard pre-order for apax.dot at $100 is the fallback. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.

As a retail brand, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
