Frequently asked questions about driver.dot

For BNPL checkout, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What does it mean to pre-order driver.dot before it launches?

Pre-ordering driver.dot reserves your place in line to register the name when the .PAY namespace opens it for general availability. The .PAY registry is operated by Amazon Registry Services, and a standard pre-order for driver.dot is listed at $100. Start at https://domain.pay/register to place your request.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for fraud prevention?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How does the SMD file prove my right to driver.dot at registration?

The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the driver.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to driver.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for a donation platform?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
