Frequently asked questions about citizens.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Does citizens.dot help distinguish official refunds from refund scams?

Yes. Refund scams imitate legitimate payment contacts, so directing customers to the official citizens.dot for any refund interaction helps them tell real NicNames processes from fraud. Ownership of the citizens.dot name makes that guidance credible. https://domain.pay/register

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for loan repayments?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

When is a UDRP-style dispute the right path for citizens.dot?

A UDRP-style dispute is generally appropriate when someone has already registered citizens.dot in bad faith and you hold rights in the citizens.dot mark. It is a recovery tool rather than a first step, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Where possible, register citizens.dot proactively to avoid disputes altogether. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY meant for mobile money or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as mobile money, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
