Frequently asked questions about markit.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a fintech founder?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What can a membership box service do with markit.dot?

A subscription box brand can manage signups and billing on markit.dot, giving customers one trusted address for recurring charges. The .PAY name keeps renewals and skips on a familiar page. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for loan repayments?

For loan repayments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for markit.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for markit.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on markit.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my digital wallets project for an event ticketing business?

For digital wallets, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
