.PAY domain
Checking availability…
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.
Pre-orders for nj-dev.pay are accepted up until its phase opens, but the practical deadline is sooner the more contested the name is, since queue order can matter. Acting now avoids missing the window. Pre-order nj-dev.pay at https://domain.pay/register.
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
To transfer nj-dev.pay out, unlock it, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, and submit a transfer request at the gaining registrar. nj-dev.pay must usually be at least 60 days old and not recently transferred. The new registrar walks you through approving the move of nj-dev.pay.
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
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.
