Frequently asked questions about ova.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for payroll disbursements?

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.

When does ova.dot expire and how do renewals work?

A registered ova.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so ova.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for ova.dot and see current terms at /pricing.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

Is there a risk my SMD leaks if I share it to claim ova.dot?

Treat your SMD like a credential: only submit it through the trusted NicNames flow when claiming ova.dot, not over casual channels. While it encodes validated mark data, careless sharing is poor practice. Use the official registration path for ova.dot to keep it safe. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for crypto payments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
