Frequently asked questions about fias.dot
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
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.
How does impersonation on fias.dot differ from email spoofing?
Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling fias.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real fias.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning fias.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Can I use a foreign trademark to claim fias.dot via TMCH?
The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts marks from many jurisdictions worldwide, so a qualifying foreign trademark can be recorded and produce an SMD for claiming fias.dot. The mark must be validated by the TMCH and match the fias.dot string. NicNames then honours that SMD for priority on fias.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
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.
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.
