Frequently asked questions about sanctions.dot

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for fraud prevention?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Can I claim sanctions.dot with a trademark even if it's reserved?

A reserved label is generally withheld by Amazon Registry Services, but holding a TMCH SMD for sanctions.dot may let you participate in the trademark-priority phase depending on registry rules for sanctions.dot. Eligibility is determined by the registry. Start your sanctions.dot trademark claim at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for point-of-sale payments?

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 is a sunrise period and does it apply to sanctions.dot?

A sunrise period is the opening launch phase reserved for trademark owners, letting them claim names like sanctions.dot before the public. It applies to sanctions.dot only if you hold a TMCH-validated mark matching the label. Otherwise, general availability is your phase. Details at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for cross-border payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
