Frequently asked questions about municipal.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing cloud.pay?

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 might municipal.dot be more expensive than a similar name?

Two similar .PAY names can differ in price because the registry classifies some municipal.dot strings as premium and others as standard $100 labels. So municipal.dot may cost more purely due to Amazon Registry Services' tiering. Compare municipal.dot against alternatives at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When should an event ticketing business pre-order a .PAY domain for mobile money?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How does trademark priority affect getting municipal.dot?

Trademark holders can get priority on municipal.dot during the relevant phase by registering a TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file, since .PAY is run by Amazon Registry Services. If you hold the mark for municipal.dot, that priority path may apply. Read more and search at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing loans.pay?

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.

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.
