Frequently asked questions about handles.dot
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for loan repayments?
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.
What proof do I need for trademark-priority pricing on handles.dot?
For trademark-priority handling of handles.dot you must supply a valid TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file matching handles.dot, issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. Without it, you proceed under standard general-availability pricing for handles.dot. Begin the priority flow at https://domain.pay/register.
As a mobile wallet team, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
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.
Can I pre-order handles.dot and decide later?
A first-day pre-order lets you queue an attempt for handles.dot now, and if the attempt does not succeed it is refundable per policy. This gives you flexibility on competitive names. domain.pay manages the pre-order; see terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for loan repayments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
