Frequently asked questions about captains.dot
Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for loan repayments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
Will premium status change my refund amount for captains.dot?
If a premium captains.dot pre-order fails, the refund under our stated policy returns whatever you were charged, so a higher premium captains.dot fee is refunded in full rather than at the $100 standard amount. The refund matches your actual charge. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

Can I pre-order multiple .PAY names including captains.dot?
