Frequently asked questions about var.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for mobile money for a travel booking brand?

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.

Will I be told which phase var.dot is in?

Yes. When you engage domain.pay for var.dot, you are guided to the correct phase, sunrise or general availability, based on whether you hold a trademark, and your var.dot request is queued for it. Find out at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Is var.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?

Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real var.dot address by owning var.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for fraud prevention?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
