Frequently asked questions about carp.dot
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a mobile wallet team?
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.
What if a former partner refuses to release carp.dot?
If a former partner holds carp.dot without legitimate right and uses it in bad faith against NicNames, a UDRP-style dispute may be considered, though outcomes depend on the agreement and evidence. Clear contracts and early registration of the carp.dot name help avoid this. https://domain.pay/
Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for a bank or credit union?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
What information goes into a carp.dot application?
A carp.dot application typically includes accurate registrant contact details and, where the .PAY registry requests it, information about your payment-related intended use. domain.pay collects what's needed and submits it for you. Begin the application at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing wallet.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
