Frequently asked questions about firstledger.pay

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for BNPL checkout?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

How far in advance can I pre-order firstledger.pay?

You can pre-order firstledger.pay as soon as domain.pay opens the listing, well ahead of the launch phase, which is ideal for securing queue position. There is no advantage to waiting. Pre-order firstledger.pay now at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for loan repayments?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Does my country's regulation affect firstledger.pay?

Your country's financial regulation can affect how you operate payment services on firstledger.pay, even though it does not change the .PAY registry's own eligibility framework. The two layers are separate. domain.pay handles registry-side eligibility; consult local counsel on regulation. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period when choosing subscriptions.pay?

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.
