Frequently asked questions about grades.dot

As a retail brand, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Where can I see all .PAY names I might claim with my SMD, including grades.dot?

You can browse and look up .PAY names, including grades.dot, through NicNames's domain search to see which match your validated mark for a priority claim. Each eligible name needs its label to match your SMD-encoded mark. Explore the catalogue and check grades.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.

During the .PAY launch, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.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.

What makes grades.dot eligible for first-day pre-order?

grades.dot is eligible for first-day pre-order when grades.dot is not reserved and is slated to enter general availability, letting your request be ready for opening day. The domain.pay flow confirms first-day eligibility for grades.dot. Set it up at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for mobile money?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
