Frequently asked questions about equivalent.dot

For digital wallets, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What if someone else pre-orders equivalent.dot before my priority claim?

A standard pre-order does not outrank trademark priority, so if you hold a valid SMD for the equivalent.dot mark, your priority claim on equivalent.dot is processed ahead of that pre-order. The pre-order is refundable per policy if it cannot be fulfilled. Validated rights come first for equivalent.dot. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for BNPL checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Will my pre-order for equivalent.dot convert to a registration if no one claims priority?

If no validated SMD holder claims equivalent.dot during the priority phase, your standard pre-order at $100 is positioned to proceed toward registration under NicNames's process. Should it still fail to complete, the charge is refundable per policy. Trademark priority simply never displaces an unclaimed equivalent.dot. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

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.

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.
