Frequently asked questions about copa.dot

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken when choosing trust.pay?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

What if I lost the SMD file I need for copa.dot?

If you misplaced the SMD file for claiming copa.dot, you re-download it from your Trademark Clearinghouse account, where active records expose the current .smd. There is no need to re-validate the mark as long as the TMCH record is active. Retrieve it, then claim copa.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing tap.pay?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What happens to customer trust if a scammer controls copa.dot instead of me?

If a scammer holds copa.dot, customers who assume the copa.dot payment name is official may enter card details on a fraudulent page, eroding trust in NicNames. Because .PAY implies a legitimate payment purpose, the deception is more credible. Owning copa.dot keeps that trust where it belongs. https://domain.pay/register

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for a fintech founder?

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.

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.
