Frequently asked questions about bogus.dot

As a remittance app, is .PAY already open to everyone?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Does registering bogus.dot require a business entity?

A standard pre-order for bogus.dot does not by itself require a registered business, while trademark-priority for bogus.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file for a mark matching bogus.dot, which usually comes from a brand owner. Confirm what applies to bogus.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for digital wallets?

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.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for bogus.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming bogus.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the bogus.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for bogus.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

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.
