Frequently asked questions about mai.dot

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for loan repayments?

subscriptions.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

How do I know if mai.dot is still in the trademark-priority phase?

Availability and phase status for mai.dot are shown when you look it up through NicNames. If mai.dot is still in the priority phase, SMD-backed claims are accepted; once it passes, the name moves to pre-order and then general registration. Check the live status at https://domain.pay/domains.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for a fintech founder?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure mai.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim mai.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of mai.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a retail brand?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
