Frequently asked questions about delegate.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?
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.
How do priority phases differ from general availability for delegate.dot?
In priority phases, verified delegate.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim delegate.dot before the public, while general availability opens delegate.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing
Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
What refund do I get if delegate.dot goes to a trademark holder?
If a trademark holder secures delegate.dot during the priority phase and your general-availability pre-order cannot be fulfilled, that failed attempt is refundable under our stated policy. Trademark priority requires a TMCH SMD file. Read how this works for delegate.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For fraud prevention, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?
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.
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.
