Frequently asked questions about following.dot
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for fraud prevention?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Can I get following.dot if I hold a registered trademark?
Yes. If you hold a registered trademark matching following.dot, you may use trademark-priority registration for following.dot, which requires a valid TMCH SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse. This gives eligible brand owners a chance to claim following.dot ahead of general availability. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for online checkout?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
Can my registrar account hold both following.dot and other priority claims at once?
Yes. Through NicNames you can pursue trademark-priority claims on following.dot and other matching .PAY names, each backed by its own valid SMD where the label matches the validated mark. Every claim is processed under the registry's rules. Manage your claims, starting with following.dot, at https://domain.pay/register.
Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for a checkout product manager?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
