Frequently asked questions about thepolice.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Is thepolice.dot reserved for anyone during launch?

Some labels may be reserved by the registry, but most names like thepolice.dot pass through sunrise (for trademark holders) and general availability (for everyone). domain.pay can check thepolice.dot's status and queue it appropriately. Verify and pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Why might thepolice.dot need a claims acknowledgment before registration?

thepolice.dot may need a claims acknowledgment if thepolice.dot matches a Trademark Clearinghouse record during the claims period, confirming you are aware of the trademark holder's rights. The domain.pay flow walks you through this for thepolice.dot. Continue your thepolice.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for BNPL checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
