Frequently asked questions about egov.dot
For fraud prevention, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
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.
What happens if I let egov.dot expire?
After expiry, egov.dot enters a grace period during which you can usually still renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period that may carry a higher restoration fee. If no one renews, egov.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.
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.
Can egov.dot help me discover related .PAY names beyond egov.dot?
Yes. Searching egov.dot on domain.pay returns related .PAY names beyond egov.dot, including synonyms and themed catalog picks. This is the fastest way to map out the full set of options around your idea. Start at https://domain.pay/domains.
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app when choosing travel.pay?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
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.
