Frequently asked questions about socks.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for loan repayments?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why was my socks.dot pre-order refunded?

A refund on socks.dot usually means the pre-order attempt failed, for example because the registry allocated the name elsewhere or it never reached general availability. Failed attempts are refundable under our stated policy. See refund details for socks.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for point-of-sale payments?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Can I claim socks.dot if my trademark covers a different product class?

The TMCH validates the mark text rather than the broad goods-and-services class, so an SMD matching the socks.dot string can support a priority claim on socks.dot regardless of class. The key requirement is a validated, matching mark for socks.dot. Verify your SMD and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing tap.pay?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

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.
