Frequently asked questions about firstgov.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for loan repayments?

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.

Are all .PAY domains like firstgov.dot subject to sunrise?

The sunrise phase applies across the .PAY namespace, so firstgov.dot is subject to it, but you only participate in sunrise if you hold a matching trademark. Otherwise firstgov.dot is registrable in general availability. domain.pay routes it at https://domain.pay/register.

For BNPL checkout, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?

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 firstgov.dot be cheaper during a launch phase?

Launch phases can carry their own registry pricing from Amazon Registry Services, which may be higher or lower than standard for firstgov.dot; we don't set those figures. The live quote reflects the current phase. Check firstgov.dot's phase price at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for BNPL checkout?

For BNPL checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
