Frequently asked questions about carvings.dot

As a payroll platform, when should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I register carvings.dot if it matches a competitor's brand?

If carvings.dot matches a third party's trademark, that owner may have priority via a TMCH SMD file and the registry may apply trademark-claims rules to carvings.dot. Registering a name you have no rights to can carry legal risk. Check carvings.dot status carefully at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for loan repayments?

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.

How does securing carvings.dot reassure investors and partners about NicNames?

Owning carvings.dot shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held carvings.dot name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for payroll disbursements?

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.
