Frequently asked questions about mav.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for BNPL checkout?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
What is an SMD file and do I need one for mav.dot?
A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim mav.dot during sunrise. You only need it if mav.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for mav.dot is enough.
Before choosing loans.pay, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
When does mav.dot expire and how do renewals work?
A registered mav.dot renews annually, and you keep it as long as you renew before the expiry date. We recommend enabling auto-renew so mav.dot never lapses by accident. You can review the renewal date and billing for mav.dot and see current terms at /pricing.
For fraud prevention, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
