Frequently asked questions about afire.dot

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for mobile money?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for afire.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for afire.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on afire.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Should nonprofits and charities protect afire.dot too?

Yes. Donors are frequent phishing targets, and a fake afire.dot payment page can intercept contributions while damaging trust in your cause. A $100 refundable pre-order makes securing afire.dot feasible for mission-driven organizations. https://domain.pay/register

As a payroll platform, what .PAY name should a payroll platform consider?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
