Frequently asked questions about migration.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.
Are there premium-feeling alternatives to migration.dot?
Yes. domain.pay can surface sleeker, premium-feeling alternatives to migration.dot by pairing migration.dot with refined or short forms in its catalog. A cleaner name can lift perceived quality. Explore them at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for fraud prevention?
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 if I don't yet have a trademark for migration.dot?
You can still pursue migration.dot without a trademark by using a standard first-day pre-order rather than trademark-priority registration. A registered mark, if you have one, would let you use a TMCH SMD file for earlier access. domain.pay supports both paths at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for BNPL checkout?
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.
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.
