Frequently asked questions about cil.dot

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

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.

Are nonprofits eligible to register cil.dot?

Nonprofits may be eligible to register cil.dot, particularly where their use relates to donations, payments, or financial functions that fit the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates relevant use rather than entity type. domain.pay can confirm eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Can two trademark holders both claim cil.dot during priority?

More than one party may hold a valid TMCH mark for the cil.dot string, so multiple SMD-backed claims on cil.dot can arrive during the priority phase. When that happens, the registry resolves competing claims under its published rules rather than first-come alone. Each claimant still needs a valid SMD to be in contention. Start your claim at https://domain.pay/register.

How much is the .PAY trademark fast-track if I need TMCH help for fraud prevention?

domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.

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.
