Frequently asked questions about tel.dot
As a fintech founder, when does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Does pre-ordering tel.dot affect any other names I want?
A pre-order for tel.dot is independent of other names, so you can separately queue additional .PAY candidates without affecting your tel.dot request. Each pre-order reserves its own place in line. Browse more options at https://domain.pay/domains and order at https://domain.pay/register.
As a mobile wallet team, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
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.
How do I create a sitemap for tel.dot and submit it?
Generate an XML sitemap listing your indexable URLs on tel.dot, host it at /sitemap.xml, and reference it in your robots.txt. Then submit the sitemap URL for tel.dot in Google Search Console so crawlers discover pages faster. Keep the sitemap for tel.dot updated as content changes.
Who operates the .PAY extension, and where can a remittance app get one for crypto payments?
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A remittance app can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
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.
