Frequently asked questions about yards.dot
How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration when choosing bank.pay?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Can I pre-order yards.dot and a related name together?
Yes. domain.pay lets you pre-order yards.dot alongside related .PAY labels in one place, each queued for its own launch phase. This is handy for protecting a set of names around yards.dot. Browse and add them at https://domain.pay/domains.
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for mobile money?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Can I upgrade to VIP handling after pre-ordering yards.dot?
You can add VIP priority handling to a pending yards.dot pre-order before it is submitted, moving your request higher in our queue. VIP affects ordering speed only and does not change the registry's final decision on yards.dot. Add it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for a bank or credit union?
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.
