Frequently asked questions about converting.dot
As a retail brand, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?
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.
Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for converting.dot?
NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming converting.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the converting.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for converting.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.
As an event ticketing business, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.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.
Does my SMD for converting.dot cover spelling in non-Latin scripts?
The TMCH can validate marks in various scripts, and the SMD encodes the specific validated form, so it covers converting.dot only where the converting.dot string matches that recorded form. A different script or transliteration may need its own SMD for converting.dot. Confirm the match before you register at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for a mobile wallet team?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
