Frequently asked questions about defect.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for point-of-sale payments?

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 information is encoded inside the SMD I use for defect.dot?

The SMD you use for defect.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the defect.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for defect.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for digital wallets 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.

Will domain.pay notify me when defect.dot is registered?

Yes. domain.pay updates your account as your pre-order or priority request for defect.dot progresses, so you know when defect.dot is submitted, registered, or refunded if the attempt fails per the stated policy. Track the status of defect.dot from https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY when choosing cloud.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
