Frequently asked questions about closeness.dot
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Can I browse the full .PAY catalog if closeness.dot doesn't fit?
Yes. If closeness.dot doesn't fit your brand, you can browse domain.pay's full curated catalog to discover other payment-domain ideas, including names unrelated to closeness.dot. The catalog is built for exactly this kind of open-ended discovery. Browse it at https://domain.pay/domains.
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
What should I prepare before pre-ordering closeness.dot?
Before pre-ordering closeness.dot, decide whether you qualify for trademark priority (which needs a TMCH SMD file for closeness.dot) or will use a standard pre-order, and have your account and payment ready. The flow then walks you through closeness.dot. Prepare and start at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for in-app purchases?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
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.
