Frequently asked questions about dawg.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements for a regional bank?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Do I need a financial license to use dawg.dot?

A financial license is not automatically required to register dawg.dot, but if you operate regulated payment services your own jurisdiction may impose licensing duties independent of the domain. The .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related use rather than issuing licenses. domain.pay can clarify at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Is there a priority window for trademark holders on dawg.dot?

Yes, that window is sunrise: a priority phase where TMCH-validated trademark owners can register dawg.dot before general availability. domain.pay offers trademark-priority registration for dawg.dot during this window. Learn more at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for digital wallets?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: 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.
