What if I'm unsuccessful?
All fees are non-refundable. If a .MOBI application is unsuccessful for any reason, the customer's America Registry account will be issued a domain credit, which they may use to apply for any other available .MOBI domain name.
Sunrise applications may require documentary evidence of the trade mark. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure they are eligible for a .MOBI domain name, and can provide any required documentary evidence. Refunds will not be given for applications with incorrect or incomplete information.

Note: As of May 21 2006 We are no longer accepting industry sunrise applications. You are still able to submit applications for the Trade Mark Sunrise and the Land Rush periods.
Trade Mark Sunrise
June 12th to September 22nd
All other trade mark holders can register their trade marks in .MOBI from June 12th, on a first-come, first-served basis. It is important to get your applications in before this date so we can submit your application as soon as the registry opens up for live registrations on June 12th.
All applications for the Trade Mark Sunrise period must also provide the following evidence to validate their claim to the requested domain name:
- Trademark name (must be three or more ASCII characters)
- Trademark identification number
- Date of Trademark application (this date must be before July 11th 2005)
- Date of granting of trademark

It is up to each applicant to ensure that the information provided is both complete and accurate. The registry will randomly verify a trade mark owner's documents during this period. Domain names must be identical to the trade mark or textual elements of the trade mark.
