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.

What should I prepare before pre-ordering mandatory.dot?
Before pre-ordering mandatory.dot, decide whether you qualify for trademark priority (which needs a TMCH SMD file for mandatory.dot) or will use a standard pre-order, and have your account and payment ready. The flow then walks you through mandatory.dot. Prepare and start at https://domain.pay/register.
As a mobile wallet team, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
