Frequently asked questions about niq.dot

As a bank or credit union, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

What is a TMCH SMD file and where do I get one for niq.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is a Signed Mark Data file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse confirming you own a mark matching niq.dot; it is required for trademark-priority on niq.dot. You obtain it by validating your trademark with the Clearinghouse. Then start niq.dot priority at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for online checkout?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Does niq.dot work for a charity's text-to-give?

Pair niq.dot with a text-to-give campaign so a reply message sends donors to a memorable payment page. The short .PAY name is easy to include in an SMS and reads as a giving link. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

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.
