Frequently asked questions about req.dot
For mobile money, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What if I lost the SMD file I need for req.dot?
If you misplaced the SMD file for claiming req.dot, you re-download it from your Trademark Clearinghouse account, where active records expose the current .smd. There is no need to re-validate the mark as long as the TMCH record is active. Retrieve it, then claim req.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for a checkout product manager?
Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.
What anti-phishing benefit does the .PAY namespace give to req.dot?
A payment-purpose namespace concentrates payment activity under names like req.dot, which makes a single trusted req.dot address easier for customers to recognize and verify. Owning req.dot lets NicNames take advantage of that clarity instead of leaving it to impersonators. https://domain.pay/
As a checkout product manager, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?
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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
