Frequently asked questions about apcs.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for loan repayments?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Is apcs.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including apcs.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether apcs.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for apcs.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For mobile money, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

How do I move apcs.dot to a different nameserver or DNS host?

To switch DNS hosts for apcs.dot, recreate your existing records at the new provider first, then update the nameservers for apcs.dot at the registrar to the new ones. Keeping the zone identical avoids downtime during the cutover. Edit nameservers for apcs.dot from /domains.

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.
