Frequently asked questions about arius.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Does arius.dot get a trademark claims notice during registration?

When a name like arius.dot matches a TMCH-recorded mark, registrants attempting it can receive a trademark claims notice flagging the existing rights. This warns non-owners before they proceed with arius.dot. The mechanism relies on the same TMCH data behind SMD priority. Learn more and register at https://domain.pay/register.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for a remittance app?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

What happens if I let arius.dot expire?

After expiry, arius.dot enters a grace period during which you can usually still renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period that may carry a higher restoration fee. If no one renews, arius.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?

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.
