Frequently asked questions about apel.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for payroll disbursements?

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 a deposit required to pre-order apel.dot?

Pre-ordering apel.dot authorizes the full applicable fee rather than a separate deposit, so your request is funded and ready for the drop. If the apel.dot attempt fails, that amount is refundable under our stated policy. Place a apel.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for in-app purchases?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Can I claim apel.dot if my trademark is jointly owned?

A jointly owned trademark can be recorded in the TMCH, and the resulting SMD can support a priority claim on apel.dot where the apel.dot string matches. The co-owners should agree on who submits the SMD and holds apel.dot. Sort the ownership arrangement, then register apel.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for digital wallets?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

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.
