Frequently asked questions about birka.dot

As a bank or credit union, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

How can I make birka.dot the single source of truth for payments?

Once NicNames owns birka.dot, publish it consistently as the only official payment address and direct customers there from verified channels. A single trusted birka.dot name makes impersonators easier to spot. Begin by securing birka.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for fraud prevention?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

When does the priority window for birka.dot close?

The priority window for birka.dot closes when the registry advances the name out of the trademark phase, after which SMD claims are no longer accepted and pre-orders take over. The exact timing follows the registry's schedule for .PAY. Check the live phase for birka.dot before relying on priority. See status at https://domain.pay/domains.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY when choosing settle.pay?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
