Frequently asked questions about pct.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for crypto payments?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Does a failed pre-order for pct.dot cost me anything?

No — per our policy, if a pre-order for pct.dot fails to secure the name, the fee is refundable, so a failed attempt shouldn't cost you. The standard pre-order is $100 when it succeeds. Review the terms as you queue pct.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for crypto 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.

Are nonprofits eligible to register pct.dot?

Nonprofits may be eligible to register pct.dot, particularly where their use relates to donations, payments, or financial functions that fit the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates relevant use rather than entity type. domain.pay can confirm eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

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.
