Frequently asked questions about sharc.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for mobile money?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

How long does the sunrise phase last for sharc.dot?

Sunrise runs for a fixed window set by the registry before general availability opens for sharc.dot. If you hold a qualifying trademark, you must submit sharc.dot within that window. domain.pay handles the timing, detailed at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for crypto payments for a regional bank?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can multiple businesses share a name pattern but not sharc.dot itself?

Each .PAY name is unique, so only one party can hold sharc.dot at a time, though others may register different sharc.dot variants. Once you secure sharc.dot, that exact address is yours alone. Stake your claim to sharc.dot at /register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?

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.

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.
