Frequently asked questions about afb.dot

For digital wallets, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Will a typo variation of my mark let me claim afb.dot?

Trademark priority on afb.dot requires the SMD-encoded mark to match the afb.dot string under TMCH rules, so a typo or near-variation generally will not qualify. Only the validated mark matching afb.dot unlocks priority. If it does not match, your remaining route is a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY meant for fraud prevention or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as fraud prevention, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

How do I renew afb.dot after the initial registration?

After afb.dot is registered, you renew afb.dot from your domain.pay account before its expiry, on the terms shown at checkout. Renewal pricing is separate from the $100 pre-order fee. See renewal terms for afb.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for an ecommerce brand?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
