Frequently asked questions about waka.dot

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run when choosing trust.pay?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is sunrise mandatory to get waka.dot?

Sunrise is not mandatory for everyone; it is only the path for trademark holders to claim waka.dot early. If you have no trademark, you simply use general availability instead. domain.pay routes your waka.dot request to the correct phase at https://domain.pay/register.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected when choosing settle.pay?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Why do premium .PAY names like waka.dot cost more?

Premium pricing reflects how Amazon Registry Services values certain waka.dot strings, and those higher recurring fees are set at the registry level for names like waka.dot. We pass through that tier rather than marking it up arbitrarily. Check the premium status of waka.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Are short .PAY names always available when choosing travel.pay?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
