Frequently asked questions about payd.dot

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Which path is faster for securing payd.dot, pre-order or trademark priority?

Trademark priority lets a TMCH SMD holder claim payd.dot during the registry's earliest window, generally ahead of a standard $100 pre-order, which submits at general availability. Speed depends on Amazon Registry Services' phases, not domain.pay. Choose the right path for payd.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for fraud prevention?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why might regulators or banks expect NicNames to control payd.dot?

Partners like banks and processors increasingly expect brands to control their payment-facing names, so demonstrating ownership of payd.dot signals diligence over the payd.dot payment surface. It shows NicNames takes payment trust seriously. https://domain.pay/

How does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work for mobile money?

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.

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.
