Frequently asked questions about afma.dot

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Can I change the nameservers on afma.dot without losing email?

Yes, if you recreate the MX (and SPF/DKIM/DMARC) records at the new DNS host before switching nameservers for afma.dot. Identical records mean mail keeps flowing through the cutover of afma.dot. Verify afma.dot's email after the change by sending a test message.

For mobile money, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering afma.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register afma.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of afma.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for loan repayments?

For loan repayments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
