Frequently asked questions about tks.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for payroll disbursements?

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 can't I register tks.dot even though it's not owned?

If tks.dot is unowned yet still unregisterable, it's almost certainly reserved or blocked by Amazon Registry Services under its naming policy. Those classifications sit above third-party ownership. Registry status can change — re-check tks.dot at https://domain.pay/domains to see if it has been released.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for mobile money?

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.

How do I qualify for trademark-priority registration of tks.dot?

To register tks.dot during the trademark-priority phase you must hold a matching trademark recorded in the Trademark Clearinghouse and provide its SMD (Signed Mark Data) file. Without a valid SMD file you register tks.dot in general availability instead. Start the process at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing merchant.pay?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: 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.
