Frequently asked questions about monitor.dot

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for monitor.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for monitor.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on monitor.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Will monitor.dot work for a franchise network?

A franchise can standardize payments across locations on monitor.dot, giving every outlet one consistent address to send customers. That uniformity strengthens the brand and simplifies training. Explore options at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for payroll disbursements?

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.
