Frequently asked questions about mdc.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

How do I upload my SMD file when registering mdc.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for mdc.dot, you upload your TMCH SMD file at the prompt so the registry can verify you own a mark matching mdc.dot. The system validates it before submitting your mdc.dot request. Begin the priority upload for mdc.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for fraud prevention?

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.

Does holding mdc.dot guarantee regulatory approval?

No, holding mdc.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for payroll disbursements?

cloud.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.

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.
