Frequently asked questions about cha.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders when choosing tap.pay?

.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.

Can I register cha.dot after general availability opens?

Yes, cha.dot remains registrable after general availability opens if it has not already been taken. The risk is that popular names go quickly, so pre-ordering cha.dot avoids relying on availability later. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?

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.

What if I lost the SMD file I need for cha.dot?

If you misplaced the SMD file for claiming cha.dot, you re-download it from your Trademark Clearinghouse account, where active records expose the current .smd. There is no need to re-validate the mark as long as the TMCH record is active. Retrieve it, then claim cha.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for BNPL checkout?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
