Frequently asked questions about cheques.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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. Start here: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Will cheques.dot work internationally?

Yes. As a global top-level domain, cheques.dot resolves the same way for visitors anywhere in the world. Customers in any country can reach cheques.dot to pay cheques.dot. The .PAY namespace is not region-locked.

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one for a remittance app?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

What happens if cheques.dot fails validation?

If cheques.dot fails the .PAY registry's validation, the registration may not activate and, for a pre-order, the amount can be refundable per policy. domain.pay explains why a validation failed where possible and helps you respond. Review terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For online checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

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.
