Frequently asked questions about hand.dot

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for cross-border payments?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I switch from a pre-order to a trademark-priority claim for hand.dot?

If you obtain a valid SMD for the hand.dot mark, you can pursue the trademark-priority path for hand.dot rather than relying on a standard pre-order. The priority route requires that SMD at claim time. Any unfulfilled pre-order on hand.dot is refundable per policy. Choose the priority path at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Can a trademark holder claim hand.dot before others?

Yes — with a valid TMCH SMD file proving a trademark on hand.dot, you can register hand.dot during the registry's trademark-priority phase before standard applicants. domain.pay offers this priority path. Begin the trademark claim for hand.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for fraud prevention?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
