Frequently asked questions about mdrive.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for point-of-sale payments?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Will NicNames store my SMD file after registering mdrive.dot?

NicNames uses your SMD file to validate and process your priority claim on mdrive.dot during registration. The SMD itself is tied to your TMCH record, which the Clearinghouse maintains independently. Handle your SMD securely since it represents your validated rights to mdrive.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for fraud prevention?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Who is eligible for trademark priority on mdrive.dot?

Eligibility for trademark priority on mdrive.dot belongs to parties holding a valid TMCH-validated trademark matching the mdrive.dot string, evidenced by a current SMD file. Anyone without that SMD must use the standard pre-order path instead. Eligibility is about validated rights, not intent. Check your standing at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, 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.

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.
