Frequently asked questions about paper.dot
For mobile money, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.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 failed pre-order attempts for paper.dot refundable?
Yes. The standard pre-order for paper.dot is $100, and if the attempt fails you are refunded, so reserving paper.dot carries limited downside. This makes it practical to try to secure your paper.dot name even where availability is uncertain. https://domain.pay/register
What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium when choosing trust.pay?
A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.
Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on paper.dot?
NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on paper.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated paper.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.
What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea for digital wallets?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
