Frequently asked questions about lichfield.dot

During the .PAY launch, 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.

What does first-day pre-order priority mean for lichfield.dot?

First-day pre-order priority means domain.pay attempts to register lichfield.dot the moment general availability begins, ahead of people who register manually later. It improves timing but is still subject to demand. The standard pre-order is $100; see /pricing.

What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea when choosing merchant.pay?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Does the TMCH actually help me secure lichfield.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse verifies your rights in the lichfield.dot mark and issues an SMD file you can use to claim lichfield.dot during priority phases and to receive notices if others try to register it. It does not auto-register lichfield.dot for you, but it gives verified holders a real head start. https://domain.pay/pricing

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain when choosing loans.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
