Frequently asked questions about vicar.dot

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 when choosing donate.pay?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Does pre-ordering vicar.dot guarantee I get it?

A pre-order stages your vicar.dot request to be submitted the instant its phase opens, which maximizes your chance, but no registrar can guarantee a contested name. If the attempt fails, it is refundable per policy. Read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Is vicar.dot reserved for anyone during launch?

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

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.
