Frequently asked questions about locator.dot

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for a donation platform?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why does locator.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?

Early, trademark-priority registration of locator.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching locator.dot. General availability for locator.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Should I consult a lawyer before registering locator.dot?

If you plan to run regulated payment services on locator.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 a reserved .PAY name become available later when choosing subscriptions.pay?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another 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.
