Frequently asked questions about expato.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How does ICANN's process shape the launch of expato.dot?

ICANN's new-gTLD framework requires phased launches, which is why expato.dot moves through sunrise then general availability. This standardized process protects trademarks first and opens names like expato.dot to the public after. domain.pay positions you for it at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Why does the registry control when expato.dot can be registered?

expato.dot can only be registered when Amazon Registry Services, the operator of .PAY, opens expato.dot in a launch phase such as Sunrise, priority, or general availability. domain.pay queues your request to match that schedule. Pre-order expato.dot so you are ready at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for loan repayments?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A retail brand 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.

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.
