Frequently asked questions about candidacy.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for an event ticketing business?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Should I check trademark conflicts before pre-ordering candidacy.dot?

Yes. Before pre-ordering candidacy.dot, check whether candidacy.dot conflicts with an existing trademark, since holders may have TMCH SMD priority under Amazon Registry Services. Clearing this early avoids surprises. Learn more and pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY already open to everyone when choosing subscriptions.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.

Can I check whether candidacy.dot matches a recorded trademark before I order?

Yes. Looking up candidacy.dot through NicNames surfaces its phase and whether trademark-priority claims apply to the candidacy.dot string. This helps you decide between a priority claim with an SMD or a standard pre-order for candidacy.dot. Run the lookup before ordering at https://domain.pay/domains.

As a donation platform, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

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.
