Frequently asked questions about dans.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for a bank or credit union?

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.

What if I miss the general availability opening for dans.dot?

If you miss the opening, dans.dot may already be taken by a faster registrant. A pre-order avoids this by having domain.pay submit dans.dot automatically at the opening, so you cannot miss it. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Will I get a refund if my SMD claim on dans.dot cannot be completed?

If a charge is taken and your attempt to secure dans.dot cannot be completed, it is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This protects you from paying for a name you do not ultimately receive. Trademark-priority claims still depend on a valid SMD being accepted. Review the refund policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for loan repayments?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

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.
