Frequently asked questions about utc.dot
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for BNPL checkout?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Should a publisher use utc.dot for paywall checkout?
A publisher can route paywall subscriptions through utc.dot, giving readers a trusted, payment-native checkout. The clear .PAY address can ease the move from free reader to paying subscriber. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for fraud prevention?
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.
Are nonprofits eligible to register utc.dot?
Nonprofits may be eligible to register utc.dot, particularly where their use relates to donations, payments, or financial functions that fit the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates relevant use rather than entity type. domain.pay can confirm eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.
When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?
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.
