Frequently asked questions about arlington.pay

As a brand-protection manager, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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.

Does Amazon Registry Services pre-screen who can register arlington.pay?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY registry and sets its policies, but registry operation does not automatically reserve arlington.pay for NicNames. Trademark holders gain advantage through TMCH priority, not through automatic screening, so you should actively claim arlington.pay. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY already open to everyone for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Are arlington.pay registrations handled differently from regular domains?

The core mechanics of arlington.pay mirror any domain, but .PAY adds a trademark-priority phase and a first-day pre-order window managed by domain.pay. Trademark holders use an SMD file; everyone else queues a pre-order. Otherwise arlington.pay behaves like a normal registration.

For mobile money, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

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.
