Frequently asked questions about kanan.dot
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for mobile money?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
Should I consult a lawyer before registering kanan.dot?
If you plan to run regulated payment services on kanan.dot, consulting a qualified lawyer about licensing in your jurisdiction is prudent, as those duties are separate from the domain. The .PAY registry handles validation, not legal advice. domain.pay handles the registration at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a brand-protection manager?
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.
Should I act on kanan.dot before competitors enter the .PAY space?
Yes. Once peers begin claiming .PAY names, attention to the namespace rises and your kanan.dot name becomes a more likely target. Securing kanan.dot early with a $100 refundable pre-order keeps NicNames ahead of that wave. https://domain.pay/register
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for crypto payments?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
