Frequently asked questions about cev.dot

As a remittance app, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Who operates the .PAY registry behind cev.dot?

The .PAY top-level domain that cev.dot belongs to is operated by Amazon Registry Services, Amazon's domain registry arm. They set the policies and run the infrastructure for every .PAY name. domain.pay is a registration service that helps you secure cev.dot on that registry; see https://domain.pay/.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a remittance app?

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.

How does cev.dot support compliance and trust audits?

Demonstrating that NicNames owns the official cev.dot payment name helps satisfy auditors and partners who expect you to control your payment-facing domains. Owning cev.dot provides clear evidence of that control. https://domain.pay/

For payroll disbursements, 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.
