Frequently asked questions about occ.dot

What should I know about Amazon Registry and .PAY before registering for crypto payments?

Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A regional bank can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.

Is a trademark required for every phase of occ.dot?

No. A trademark is required only for the sunrise phase of occ.dot; general availability has no such requirement. domain.pay queues occ.dot for whichever phase you qualify for. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.

Does NicNames charge extra to process my SMD for occ.dot?

NicNames processes your SMD as part of the trademark-priority registration for occ.dot under its published pricing; the standard pre-order alternative is listed at $100. Always confirm current figures rather than assuming a separate SMD fee. The pricing page has the authoritative numbers for occ.dot. See https://domain.pay/pricing.

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

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.

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.
