Frequently asked questions about cic.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
Can trademark holders skip the queue for cic.dot?
Trademark holders do not skip the queue so much as use a separate, earlier phase: sunrise. With a TMCH-validated mark and SMD file, you can register cic.dot before general availability even opens. domain.pay handles the submission, explained at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for mobile money?
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.
Can I discover cic.dot-style names for a checkout product?
Yes. domain.pay surfaces cic.dot-style names suited to a checkout product by combining cic.dot with payment and transaction terms in its catalog. These themed picks fit commerce flows naturally. Discover them at https://domain.pay/domains.
As a brand-protection manager, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?
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.
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.
