How to Pay WIPO Domain Name Fees

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center makes available a schedule of fees for domain name dispute resolution services under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), or under variations thereof adopted by certain ccTLD registration authorities.

Available Payment Methods

Payments to the WIPO Center for domain name services shall be made by credit card, deduction from a WIPO current account or by bank transfer.

Option 1: Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, Discover)

Payment by credit card should be made using the WIPO Center's secure online Domain Name Credit Card Payment Service. For data security reasons, this online payment facility is the only means by which credit card payments can be accepted.

For payment-related queries or difficulties, please call (+41 22) 338 8247.
