Frequently asked questions about certification.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for payroll disbursements?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How does the SMD file prove my right to certification.dot at registration?

The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the certification.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to certification.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for loan repayments?

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.

Can certification.dot move from premium back to standard pricing?

It can — Amazon Registry Services may reclassify certification.dot, so a premium certification.dot could later register at standard pricing, or vice versa. There's no guaranteed direction or date. Because registry status can change, re-check certification.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
