Frequently asked questions about riley.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for a regional bank?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

What proof does NicNames need to grant me priority on riley.dot?

To grant trademark priority on riley.dot, NicNames needs a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches the riley.dot string. The SMD is your cryptographic proof of validated trademark rights. No SMD means no priority claim is possible for riley.dot. Submit your proof at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

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.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure riley.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim riley.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of riley.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, 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.

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.
