Frequently asked questions about luks.dot
For mobile money, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?
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.
What does registered mean for luks.dot?
Registered means luks.dot is currently owned by someone who completed registration, so it's unavailable to claim until it lapses or is released. This differs from reserved or premium, which are registry classifications, not third-party ownership. Re-check luks.dot — registry status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.
Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for card processing?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
How do I submit my SMD file when registering luks.dot?
During the trademark-priority flow for luks.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the luks.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on luks.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.
For crypto payments, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
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.
