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.

citypath.dot is short, ends in a meaningful word, and ties directly to the brand citypath.dot. People remember citypath.dot more easily than a long string of folders and query parameters. That memorability matters when a customer types the address from a receipt or a card.

.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.

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on citypath.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why citypath.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
