Frequently asked questions about aut.dot

What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea for a crypto or DeFi product?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Who operates the registry behind aut.dot and why does that matter for trust?

The .PAY registry is operated by Amazon Registry Services, which sets the policies that govern names like aut.dot. Knowing a major operator stands behind aut.dot adds confidence, but registry operation does not by itself stop impersonation, so you should still register aut.dot yourself. https://domain.pay/

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for an event ticketing business?

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.

Will my SMD file expire before I can register aut.dot?

An SMD file is tied to your active TMCH record and stops being valid if your trademark record lapses or is revoked. To claim aut.dot you need a current, unexpired SMD at the moment of submission. Keep your TMCH record renewed so your right to aut.dot stays enforceable. Register while valid at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for fraud prevention?

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.
