Frequently asked questions about membership.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for digital wallets?

.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.

Does a pending trademark application qualify for an SMD to claim membership.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse generally validates registered marks, not mere pending applications, so a pending filing usually cannot produce an SMD to claim membership.dot. You need a validated TMCH record for the membership.dot mark first. If your application matures and is validated, you can then pursue priority on membership.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for a checkout product manager?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Can a licensee rather than the trademark owner claim membership.dot?

Priority on membership.dot flows from the validated TMCH mark, so the claim is normally made by the SMD holder of record for the membership.dot mark. A licensee would need the appropriate authority and a usable SMD to act. Confirm who controls the SMD before claiming membership.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
