Frequently asked questions about identical.dot

During the .PAY launch, 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.

How do refunds work if I pre-order several names including identical.dot?

Each pre-order is handled on its own, so if identical.dot fails while others succeed, only the failed identical.dot attempt is refunded under our stated policy. Successful registrations in the same order remain active and billed. Review the per-name policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for mobile money?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

Does identical.dot need anti-money-laundering compliance?

Holding identical.dot itself does not impose anti-money-laundering duties, but if you operate regulated payment services your jurisdiction's AML rules may apply independently of the domain. The .PAY registry validates use, not your AML program. domain.pay clarifies registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for payroll disbursements?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

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.
