Frequently asked questions about paka.dot
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for a remittance app?
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.
Are payment processors a fit for paka.dot?
Payment processors are a strong fit for paka.dot, given the .PAY namespace's payment orientation, and the registry's validation usually aligns well with their use. Their own regulatory duties remain separate. domain.pay can help a processor secure paka.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For payroll disbursements, 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.
What is the simplest summary of how to claim paka.dot as a trademark holder?
In short: record your paka.dot mark in the TMCH, download the validated SMD file, and submit it through NicNames during the priority phase to claim paka.dot ahead of the public. If you lack an SMD, a standard pre-order for paka.dot at $100 is the fallback. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.
As a checkout product manager, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
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.
