Frequently asked questions about lava.dot
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for crypto payments?
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.
Does holding lava.dot guarantee regulatory approval?
No, holding lava.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.
Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for tax payments?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
Which comes first for lava.dot: sunrise or general availability?
Sunrise always comes first for lava.dot, giving trademark holders priority, followed by general availability for the public. Your phase depends on whether you hold a matching mark. domain.pay queues lava.dot for the right one at https://domain.pay/register.
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for mobile money?
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.
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.
