Frequently asked questions about photonics.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

How does trademark-priority registration work for photonics.dot?

Trademark-priority registration lets the verified owner of a mark matching photonics.dot claim photonics.dot during the registry's priority window, ahead of standard pre-orders. It requires a valid TMCH SMD file proving your trademark. Begin the priority path for photonics.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a bank or credit union, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

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.

Does my trademark have to exactly match the label in photonics.dot?

For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the photonics.dot string in photonics.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on photonics.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for loan repayments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
