Frequently asked questions about cari.dot

For crypto payments, 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.

Can I lock cari.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for cari.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for cari.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on cari.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for digital wallets?

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.

Does my trademark have to exactly match the label in cari.dot?

For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the cari.dot string in cari.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on cari.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for crypto payments?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
