Frequently asked questions about proficient.dot
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a remittance app?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
When is the best time to secure proficient.dot?
The best time to secure proficient.dot is now, by pre-ordering, so domain.pay submits it the instant your phase opens rather than after others have started. Waiting only narrows your options for proficient.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
For BNPL checkout, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
Does Amazon Registry Services pre-screen who can register proficient.dot?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and sets its policies, but registry operation does not automatically reserve proficient.dot for NicNames. Trademark holders gain advantage through TMCH priority, not through automatic screening, so you should actively claim proficient.dot. https://domain.pay/register
Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for a donation platform?
Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
