Frequently asked questions about bright.dot

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for digital wallets?

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's the fastest way to shortlist alternatives to bright.dot?

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

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.

Should I hold a payment license before buying bright.dot?

You generally do not need a payment license to acquire bright.dot, though running regulated payment services may require licensing under your own jurisdiction's law regardless of the domain. The .PAY registry validates use, not your licensing status. domain.pay explains current expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
