Frequently asked questions about rare.dot
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a bank or credit union?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Can two trademark holders both claim rare.dot during priority?
More than one party may hold a valid TMCH mark for the rare.dot string, so multiple SMD-backed claims on rare.dot can arrive during the priority phase. When that happens, the registry resolves competing claims under its published rules rather than first-come alone. Each claimant still needs a valid SMD to be in contention. Start your claim at https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for BNPL checkout?
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.
How does domain.pay's pre-order queue work for rare.dot?
domain.pay accepts your pre-order for rare.dot, holds it in queue, and submits it to the registry when rare.dot's phase opens; if it cannot be fulfilled, it is refundable per policy. The queue rewards early action. Join it at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
