Frequently asked questions about request.dot

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for mobile money?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What information is encoded inside the SMD I use for request.dot?

The SMD you use for request.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the request.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for request.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for a regional bank?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For BNPL checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Can I transfer my pre-order for request.dot to someone else?

Pre-order transferability for request.dot depends on the registry's rules and our terms; in general the registrant on record for request.dot is the account that placed the pre-order. If the attempt fails, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Manage your request.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, 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.

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.
