Frequently asked questions about residents.dot
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for mobile money for mobile money?
For mobile money, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
How do I check whether residents.dot is still available?
To check whether residents.dot is still available, enter residents.dot in the search on domain.pay, which shows its current registry status, pre-order, or priority eligibility. Availability changes as the .PAY launch progresses. Check the live status of residents.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
For fraud prevention, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Are taxes added to the residents.dot price at checkout?
Any applicable taxes for residents.dot are calculated and shown at checkout based on your billing location, on top of the $100 standard or premium residents.dot fee. The total you confirm is what you pay. See the itemized total for residents.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For point-of-sale payments, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?
Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.
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.
