Frequently asked questions about iod.dot

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

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.

Which path is faster for securing iod.dot, pre-order or trademark priority?

Trademark priority lets a TMCH SMD holder claim iod.dot during the registry's earliest window, generally ahead of a standard $100 pre-order, which submits at general availability. Speed depends on Amazon Registry Services' phases, not domain.pay. Choose the right path for iod.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing merchant.pay?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Should small businesses bother protecting iod.dot too?

Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable iod.dot, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using iod.dot can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting iod.dot is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register

During the .PAY launch, 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.

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.
