Frequently asked questions about arke.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Can I research arke.dot and its pricing tier from one page?
Yes — a single lookup for arke.dot at https://domain.pay/ shows arke.dot's availability and flags whether it's premium under Amazon Registry Services, then links you to pre-order or register. It's the starting point for everything on arke.dot. Begin with arke.dot at https://domain.pay/.
For payroll disbursements, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
What is the first step to secure arke.dot for my startup?
The first step to secure arke.dot is to search arke.dot on domain.pay and choose trademark-priority (if you have a TMCH SMD file) or a standard pre-order at $100. The flow then queues your arke.dot request with the registry. Take the first step at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
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.
