Frequently asked questions about black.dot
How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for a regional bank?
domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.
How do I know my pre-order for black.dot was received?
Once you submit a pre-order for black.dot, your domain.pay account confirms it was received and shows black.dot in your queued orders. You will see status changes as the registry processes black.dot. Confirm and view your black.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for digital wallets?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
How does owning black.dot protect first-time customers most?
First-time customers have no prior reference for the real black.dot address, so they are especially vulnerable to a convincing fake. When NicNames owns black.dot and promotes it as official, newcomers are guided to the genuine payment page. https://domain.pay/register
As a bank or credit union, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
