Frequently asked questions about idg.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for crypto payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need a financial license to use idg.dot?

A financial license is not automatically required to register idg.dot, but if you operate regulated payment services your own jurisdiction may impose licensing duties independent of the domain. The .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related use rather than issuing licenses. domain.pay can clarify at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for mobile money?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Should nonprofits and charities protect idg.dot too?

Yes. Donors are frequent phishing targets, and a fake idg.dot payment page can intercept contributions while damaging trust in your cause. A $100 refundable pre-order makes securing idg.dot feasible for mission-driven organizations. https://domain.pay/register

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for an event ticketing business?

.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.

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.
