Frequently asked questions about avista.dot

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for BNPL checkout?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What is a registrar lock and should avista.dot have one?

A registrar (transfer) lock prevents avista.dot from being moved without your explicit approval, guarding against hijacking. Keep avista.dot locked except during a deliberate transfer. You can toggle the lock for avista.dot in your account's domain settings.

Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration?

Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.

How does avista.dot ownership help during a brand dispute?

If NicNames already owns avista.dot, there is no name to dispute, which eliminates the cost, delay, and uncertainty of a UDRP-style proceeding. Prevention through ownership is far stronger than recovery after the fact. Lock in avista.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility when choosing bank.pay?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
