Frequently asked questions about recog.dot

Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one for a remittance app?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

Should small businesses worry about recog.dot licensing rules?

Small businesses generally do not need a special license just to register recog.dot, since the .PAY registry validates payment-related use rather than issuing licenses. Any licensing duty would come from operating regulated payments under local law. domain.pay clarifies registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing tap.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Will domain.pay notify me when recog.dot is registered?

Yes. domain.pay updates your account as your pre-order or priority request for recog.dot progresses, so you know when recog.dot is submitted, registered, or refunded if the attempt fails per the stated policy. Track the status of recog.dot from https://domain.pay/register.

As a checkout product manager, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

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.
