Frequently asked questions about eql.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for digital wallets?

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.

Why is eql.dot compared against a curated catalog?

domain.pay compares eql.dot against a curated catalog so you can see how it stacks up against vetted payment-domain ideas built on eql.dot and related themes. The catalog gives context for whether eql.dot is the strongest available choice. Browse the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for a payroll platform?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

What happens if I let eql.dot expire?

After expiry, eql.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, eql.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.

For fraud prevention, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?

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.
