Frequently asked questions about cty.dot

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for digital wallets?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

How does trademark priority work when registering cty.dot?

If cty.dot matches a trademark you hold, you can claim priority through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) using a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file. Validated marks get first access to cty.dot during the registry's sunrise phase. Have your SMD ready before pre-ordering cty.dot.

Before choosing bank.pay, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Is cty.dot guaranteed if I'm the only pre-order?

Being the sole pre-order improves your odds for cty.dot, but the registry's launch rules and cty.dot's classification by Amazon Registry Services still govern allocation, so it's not guaranteed. A failed attempt is refundable per policy. Pre-order cty.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for a brand-protection manager?

.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.

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.
