Frequently asked questions about machi.dot
Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?
Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.
How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for machi.dot?
NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on machi.dot. If the signature and mark match the machi.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on machi.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a regional bank?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
What problem does machi.dot solve for online sellers?
machi.dot gives online sellers a dedicated, easy-to-share address for collecting money instead of a buried checkout page. It reduces friction by making the payment URL obvious and brandable as machi.dot. Sellers can pre-order machi.dot at /register.
Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for marketplace payouts?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
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.
