Frequently asked questions about chooz.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for a payroll platform?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register chooz.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim chooz.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for chooz.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing loans.pay?

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.

Who handles my VIP request for chooz.dot?

Our priority operations team handles VIP requests, advancing chooz.dot in the submission queue so it reaches Amazon Registry Services as fast as possible at the drop. They cannot override the registry's final allocation of chooz.dot. Learn about VIP at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for point-of-sale payments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
