Frequently asked questions about cordage.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a bank or credit union?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Is sunrise mandatory to get cordage.dot?

Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim cordage.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your cordage.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

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 evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for cordage.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for cordage.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on cordage.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

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.

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.
