Frequently asked questions about provident.dot

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is an SMD file and why does provident.dot need it for sunrise?

An SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is the cryptographic proof of a TMCH-validated trademark required to register provident.dot during sunrise. Without it, the registry rejects sunrise applications. domain.pay uses your SMD to submit provident.dot, as explained at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for donation payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

How much does it cost in total to register provident.dot?

The standard pre-order for provident.dot is listed at $100, and trademark-priority registrations may carry different fees set around the registry's rules. The exact total for provident.dot, including any renewal terms, appears at checkout. See the full pricing for provident.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for mobile money?
