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 long does the sunrise phase last for nico.dot?
Sunrise runs for a fixed window set by the registry before general availability opens for nico.dot. If you hold a qualifying trademark, you must submit nico.dot within that window. domain.pay handles the timing, detailed at https://domain.pay/register.

How does nico.dot ownership interact with brand-monitoring tools?
Owning nico.dot gives your monitoring tools a known-good baseline so any other use of the nico.dot name flags as potential impersonation. The combination of ownership plus monitoring strengthens NicNames's overall posture. https://domain.pay/
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for online checkout?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
