Frequently asked questions about riv.dot

When is broader .PAY public registration expected when choosing trust.pay?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

What is the relationship between domain.pay and riv.dot?

domain.pay is the registration service that helps you secure riv.dot on the Amazon Registry Services .PAY namespace, including trademark priority and first-day pre-orders. It is not the registry itself but your path to obtaining riv.dot. Start at https://domain.pay/.

For BNPL checkout, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.

What happens to my DNS records when riv.dot expires?

Once riv.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so riv.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring riv.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew riv.dot on time to keep DNS live.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for loan repayments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
