Frequently asked questions about pre.dot

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain for loan repayments?

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.

How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for pre.dot?

You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming pre.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on pre.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a new domain option for bank or credit unions?

.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

What if I don't yet have a trademark for pre.dot?

You can still pursue pre.dot without a trademark by using a standard first-day pre-order rather than trademark-priority registration. A registered mark, if you have one, would let you use a TMCH SMD file for earlier access. domain.pay supports both paths at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for digital wallets?

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.
