Frequently asked questions about rfd.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for loan repayments?

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.

What does registered mean for rfd.dot?

Registered means rfd.dot is currently owned by someone who completed registration, so it's unavailable to claim until it lapses or is released. This differs from reserved or premium, which are registry classifications, not third-party ownership. Re-check rfd.dot — registry status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for fraud prevention?

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.

Does a failed pre-order for rfd.dot cost me anything?

No — per our policy, if a pre-order for rfd.dot fails to secure the name, the fee is refundable, so a failed attempt shouldn't cost you. The standard pre-order is $100 when it succeeds. Review the terms as you queue rfd.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for a donation platform?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

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.
