Frequently asked questions about elephant.dot

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for fraud prevention?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

Should I record my brand in the TMCH before pre-ordering elephant.dot?

If you own the trademark for the elephant.dot string, recording it in the TMCH first is the safest path, because the resulting SMD gives your claim on elephant.dot priority over standard pre-orders. A pre-order alone does not establish trademark rights. Lock in priority before placing a pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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.

What if someone with a trademark wants elephant.dot too?

If a trademark holder has a matching mark, they can claim elephant.dot during sunrise, before general availability where you would register. That is why checking elephant.dot's eligibility early matters. domain.pay can advise on your options at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
