Frequently asked questions about dates.dot

For BNPL checkout, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

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.

How do I upload my SMD file when registering dates.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for dates.dot, you upload your TMCH SMD file at the prompt so the registry can verify you own a mark matching dates.dot. The system validates it before submitting your dates.dot request. Begin the priority upload for dates.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for an event ticketing business?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

How do priority phases differ from general availability for dates.dot?

In priority phases, verified dates.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim dates.dot before the public, while general availability opens dates.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for payroll disbursements?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

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.
