Frequently asked questions about t-guard.dot

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for mobile money?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For mobile money, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Does holding t-guard.dot guarantee regulatory approval?

No, holding t-guard.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Will t-guard.dot be available immediately when .PAY launches?

When the relevant phase opens, t-guard.dot becomes registrable, but availability for any one buyer depends on competing requests. A pre-order ensures domain.pay submits t-guard.dot at that immediate opening rather than after the rush. Stage it at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
