Frequently asked questions about pierce.dot
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
What if someone with a trademark wants pierce.dot too?
If a trademark holder has a matching mark, they can claim pierce.dot during sunrise, before general availability where you would register. That is why checking pierce.dot's eligibility early matters. domain.pay can advise on your options at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a retail brand?
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.
How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for pierce.dot?
You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming pierce.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on pierce.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.
For mobile money, what date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?
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.
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.
