Frequently asked questions about guarded.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Can a non-licensed business register guarded.dot?

In many cases a business without a formal financial license may still register guarded.dot, since .PAY does not universally require licensing for every registrant. However, the registry may apply validation around payment-related use, so requirements can vary by intended purpose. Check current guidance at https://domain.pay/register.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a checkout product manager?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Identity or registrant verification can be part of acquiring guarded.dot where the .PAY registry's validation calls for it. Requirements may vary by intended use and over time. domain.pay relays any verification steps so you can respond quickly; start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for loan repayments?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.
