Frequently asked questions about hkng.pay
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for fraud prevention?
.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.
Is it worth registering hkng.pay defensively for my brand?
Holding hkng.pay defensively keeps a brand-matching .PAY name out of others' hands and lets you redirect it to your main site. It's a common brand-protection step, especially in payments-adjacent industries. You can secure hkng.pay via a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a fintech founder?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
Will hkng.pay stay reserved while my SMD is being verified?
While NicNames verifies your SMD for hkng.pay, your priority claim is being processed under the registry's rules, ahead of standard pre-orders. If verification fails, you can re-export a valid SMD and retry for hkng.pay. Charges for unfulfilled attempts are refundable per policy. Track it from your account after starting at https://domain.pay/register.
For mobile money, how do I register donate.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
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.
