Frequently asked questions about kya.dot
When is broader .PAY public registration expected for fraud prevention?
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.
Can holding kya.dot prevent affiliate or partner impersonation?
Owning kya.dot ensures only NicNames controls the official kya.dot payment address, so rogue affiliates or fake partners cannot pose as the genuine payment endpoint. Clear ownership makes unauthorized payment pages easier to flag. https://domain.pay/register
For fraud prevention, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.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.
Can I register kya.dot and point it to my existing website?
Once kya.dot is registered, you can configure its DNS to point kya.dot to your existing website or services from your domain.pay account. Pre-ordering simply secures kya.dot first. Reserve kya.dot now and set it up later at https://domain.pay/register.
What should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY for mobile money?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
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.
