Frequently asked questions about delay.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a bank or credit union?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

How does impersonation on delay.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling delay.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real delay.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning delay.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for fraud prevention?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I hold delay.dot even if I am not ready to launch?

Yes. You can register or pre-order delay.dot now and park it until you are ready to point it at a checkout or redirect. Securing delay.dot early prevents someone else from taking the delay.dot payment name. Reserve it via /register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing loans.pay?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested 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.
