Frequently asked questions about washpost.dot
For fraud prevention, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
What trust signal does washpost.dot send compared to a free subdomain?
A dedicated washpost.dot on a payment-purpose TLD signals an official, controlled payment property, while a free subdomain looks generic and easier to fake. Customers paying NicNames gain confidence from the clear washpost.dot name. Establish it at https://domain.pay/register.
As an insurance billing portal, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How do priority claims affect my standard pre-order of washpost.dot?
If a trademark owner files a valid priority claim for washpost.dot, their claim is processed ahead of standard pre-orders, so a priority applicant can secure washpost.dot before you. If that happens, your standard pre-order fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order washpost.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark when choosing trust.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.
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.
