Frequently asked questions about ices.pay
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.
Is my ices.pay priority claim public during the phase?
Trademark-priority claims on ices.pay are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of ices.pay appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on ices.pay. Register at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for a remittance app?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
Why was .PAY created for payment use?
The .PAY TLD, operated by Amazon Registry Services, was created to give payments and financial services a clearly themed namespace, which is why ices.pay may carry payment-related validation expectations. This helps signal trust to users. domain.pay can register ices.pay within this namespace at https://domain.pay/register.
For digital wallets, 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.
