Frequently asked questions about nibc.dot

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

Will a contested nibc.dot affect my pre-order timing?

If nibc.dot is contested by multiple applicants at general availability, your first-day pre-order still queues an attempt the moment it opens, and a failed attempt is refundable per policy. Early queuing improves your odds against later applicants. domain.pay manages the timing; see https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, 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.

Should a small business bother with TMCH before registering nibc.dot?

If your small business owns the nibc.dot trademark and wants the strongest claim on nibc.dot, recording it in the TMCH is worthwhile because the SMD grants priority over the public. Without it, you rely on a standard pre-order that a rights holder can outrank. Weigh the priority path against pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For mobile money, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

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.

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.
