Frequently asked questions about restrain.dot
How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Is restrain.dot reserved for anyone during launch?
Some labels may be reserved by the registry, but most names like restrain.dot pass through sunrise (for trademark holders) and general availability (for everyone). domain.pay can check restrain.dot's status and queue it appropriately. Verify and pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
As a donation platform, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How does the trademark-priority window for restrain.dot work?
During the trademark-priority window, holders of the restrain.dot trademark can register restrain.dot ahead of the general public by submitting a TMCH SMD file. This protects brands from losing their name. domain.pay handles the SMD path for restrain.dot at /register.
For loan repayments, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?
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.
