Frequently asked questions about privat.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

What is a TMCH SMD file and how does it relate to privat.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a proof-of-trademark token from the Trademark Clearinghouse. If you hold the trademark for privat.dot, uploading your SMD file lets you claim privat.dot during the priority window before general pre-orders. domain.pay accepts the SMD file at /register.

As a brand-protection manager, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

What happens to my DNS records when privat.dot expires?

Once privat.dot expires and leaves the grace period, the registry may stop publishing your nameservers, so privat.dot stops resolving and any site or email goes dark. Restoring privat.dot during redemption brings it back, but you should re-verify records afterward. Renew privat.dot on time to keep DNS live.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for digital wallets?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

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.
