Frequently asked questions about publications.dot
Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?
Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.
Where do I start a priority pre-order for publications.dot?
You can start a priority pre-order for publications.dot from its registration page, where you add VIP handling and, if eligible, supply a TMCH SMD file for the trademark phase. The applicable $100 standard or premium publications.dot fee is shown before you confirm publications.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
As a regional bank, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?
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.
Should a game studio use publications.dot for store purchases?
A game studio can host its web store on publications.dot so players buy currency and items on a recognizable payment address. The .PAY ending reassures buyers leaving the game client to pay. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I reserve brand.pay before broader registration opens for a mobile wallet team?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
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.
