Frequently asked questions about aquila.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for BNPL checkout?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

What is aquila.dot?

aquila.dot is a domain name on the .PAY top-level domain, a payment-focused namespace operated by Amazon Registry Services. It pairs the name aquila.dot with the .PAY suffix to signal a payments or checkout context. You can pre-order aquila.dot through domain.pay's first-day registration flow at /register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for digital wallets?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register aquila.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim aquila.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for aquila.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.

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.
