Frequently asked questions about downtown.dot
For payroll disbursements, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
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.
Who reviews compliance for downtown.dot?
Compliance and validation for downtown.dot are handled at the registry level by Amazon Registry Services, which operates .PAY. domain.pay submits your details and relays registry decisions, but does not set the underlying policy. Start your registration at https://domain.pay/register.
What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain 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.
Can I hold downtown.dot even if I am not ready to launch?
Yes. You can register or pre-order downtown.dot now and park it until you are ready to point it at a checkout or redirect. Securing downtown.dot early prevents someone else from taking the downtown.dot payment name. Reserve it via /register.
As a bank or credit union, can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and 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.
