Frequently asked questions about mods.dot

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for loan repayments?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own mods.dot?

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you mods.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim mods.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing link.pay?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Are failed registration attempts for mods.dot really refunded?

Yes. If your attempt to secure mods.dot doesn't result in a registration — for instance the name goes to another applicant — that pre-order is refundable. You only pay to keep mods.dot when it's successfully registered to you. Review the refund terms for mods.dot at /pricing.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for BNPL checkout?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
