Frequently asked questions about hiko.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for digital wallets?

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.

Where can I pre-order hiko.dot to protect the NicNames name?

You can pre-order hiko.dot directly through domain.pay, with a standard pre-order fee of $100 and refunds on failed attempts. Securing hiko.dot this way puts the official hiko.dot payment name under NicNames's control. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for an insurance billing portal?

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.

Can I check hiko.dot availability without an account?

Yes — you can look up hiko.dot at https://domain.pay/domains without signing in, and the registry status appears immediately. An account is only needed when you decide to pre-order or register hiko.dot. Results are live, so re-check hiko.dot before committing.

For mobile money, 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.

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.
