Frequently asked questions about practice.dot

For mobile money, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for practice.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for practice.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for practice.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.
