The four steps

1. 01
   Pick a date or join the waitlist

   From the registry, navigate by century, year, month, day — or type the date directly. If you have an invitation, you can reserve a specific date. If you do not, the general waitlist is open to everyone and gets first access when public claims open at launch.

2. 02
   Reserve it (or sign up)

   Enter the email and (optionally) the name and short note you would want associated with the date. We send a confirmation. No payment is taken now.

3. 03
   Share three invitations

   Both reservations and waitlist signups come with three single-use invitation links. Anyone who reserves a specific date through your link skips the launch-day queue, and you earn a launch-day perk for each invitation that converts.

4. 04
   Claim at launch

   When claims open, you receive a one-click confirmation to convert your reservation or waitlist entry into a permanent registry entry at the announced price. Your bio, photo, and optional add-ons are entered then.

Pricing tiers

• Standard from $29 Most days.
• Notable from $99 Recurring cultural marks and one-off historic moments.
• Landmark from $199 Annual anchors shared by many.
• Blocked unavailable A small set of historically sensitive dates. Not for sale.

Final pricing is announced at launch. Pre-launch reservations are honored at that announced price for their tier. A reservation is not a guarantee of a claim. We may decline a reservation if a date is reclassified, if abuse is detected, or if the registry is paused or closed. See terms.

Optional upgrades at claim time

• Printed certificate. Archival-quality stock, your name and date in full, mailed to any address.
• Featured placement. Highlight your day in the browsing experience for a defined period.

What "buying" actually buys you

A permanent registry entry on The Time Owner. The bearer name and date are part of the public ledger; your bio, photo, and contact fields are editable; the entry can be passed down or memorialized as you choose.

It is not a legal property right in the date itself. See the Terms for the full definition.
