Frequently asked questions about metropolis.dot

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for payroll disbursements?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For payroll disbursements, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Why is general availability open to everyone for metropolis.dot?

General availability is open to everyone because, after sunrise protects trademark holders, the registry opens names like metropolis.dot to the public on a first-come basis. This is your phase if you have no matching mark. Pre-order metropolis.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for a bank or credit union?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a deadline to record my mark in TMCH for metropolis.dot?

There is no fixed universal deadline to record a mark in the TMCH, but to claim metropolis.dot under priority your SMD must be valid before that phase closes for metropolis.dot. Because validation takes time, record your mark early. Track the phase for metropolis.dot and prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
