Frequently asked questions about techdept.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup when choosing payroll.pay?

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.

How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for techdept.dot?

You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming techdept.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on techdept.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

As a donation platform, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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.

Does Amazon Registry Services approve each techdept.dot registration?

Amazon Registry Services operates .PAY and applies its launch rules, reserved lists, and priority processing that determine whether techdept.dot can be allocated. domain.pay submits your techdept.dot request within those rules. Place your techdept.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
