Frequently asked questions about father.dot
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a brand-protection manager?
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.
Can I monitor attempts by others to register father.dot?
Recording your father.dot mark in the TMCH triggers Claims Service notices when someone tries to register matching names like father.dot during the relevant period. Combined with ongoing brand monitoring, this helps you react quickly to impersonation attempts. The surest step is still to register father.dot yourself. https://domain.pay/register
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for digital wallets?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Is a pre-order for father.dot refundable if someone else wins it?
Yes. If father.dot is allocated to another applicant and your pre-order for father.dot cannot be fulfilled, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. A pre-order reserves your place in line but does not guarantee the name. Place a pre-order for father.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for mobile money?
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.
