Frequently asked questions about caliph.dot

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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 is eligibility for caliph.dot checked?

Eligibility and validation for caliph.dot are typically reviewed by the .PAY registry around the time of registration or activation, rather than continuously. domain.pay submits your application and relays any registry validation steps to you. You can begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for a regional bank?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Is caliph.dot affected if a similar trademark exists?

During a priority phase, a trademark on caliph.dot can let its holder claim caliph.dot first through TMCH; outside that, a similar mark doesn't automatically block caliph.dot. Registry rules from Amazon Registry Services govern this. Check caliph.dot's status and options at https://domain.pay/domains.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing trust.pay?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: 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.
