Frequently asked questions about foia.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for digital wallets?

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.

Are premium prices for foia.dot set by domain.pay?

No — the premium price for foia.dot is set by the registry, Amazon Registry Services, and domain.pay simply displays it. That's why a premium foia.dot quote can differ from the standard fee and may change over time. View the live figure for foia.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period when choosing merchant.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Does foia.dot need a CAA record for SSL?

A CAA record on foia.dot restricts which certificate authorities may issue certs for it, adding a layer of security. It's optional but recommended; list the CA you use (e.g. letsencrypt.org) for foia.dot. Add the CAA record in DNS before requesting new certificates.

For mobile money, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
