Frequently asked questions about theregister.dot

Before choosing bank.pay, 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 VIP handling a recurring charge for theregister.dot?

No, VIP priority handling is a one-time service tied to securing theregister.dot at the drop, not a recurring fee. Your ongoing cost for theregister.dot is the annual registration rate, $100 standard or the premium tier for theregister.dot. See the VIP terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names?

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.

What customer message should accompany ownership of theregister.dot?

Tell customers that theregister.dot is the only official theregister.dot payment address and that NicNames will never collect payments from other domains. Pairing clear messaging with real ownership of theregister.dot makes impersonation easier to detect. https://domain.pay/register

Would travel.pay work as a payment brand for point-of-sale payments?

travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
