Frequently asked questions about polite.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing bank.pay?

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.

How much does it cost to secure polite.dot?

A standard pre-order to secure polite.dot is listed at $100 through domain.pay, with renewal and any premium pricing shown separately. Figures can change, so confirm the live price before ordering. See current costs at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Can someone register polite.dot that matches my trademark and impersonate me?

In theory anyone may attempt to register polite.dot, which is exactly why trademark holders use TMCH priority and dispute mechanisms. If a registrant uses polite.dot in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be available. The simplest protection is to register polite.dot yourself first. https://domain.pay/register

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for a brand-protection manager?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
