Frequently asked questions about curiously.dot

For online checkout, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register curiously.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim curiously.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for curiously.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 when choosing bank.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Why is timing critical for registering curiously.dot?

Timing is critical because curiously.dot can only be claimed when its phase opens, and contested names go to whoever's request arrives first and qualifies. A pre-order ensures domain.pay submits curiously.dot at the exact opening. Lock timing in at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for digital wallets?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

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.
