Frequently asked questions about sci.dot
For loan repayments, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
What should I know before pre-ordering sci.dot?
Before pre-ordering sci.dot, know that the standard pre-order is $100, trademark holders get priority via an SMD file, and failed attempts are refundable per policy. A pre-order is an attempt, not a guarantee, when demand is high. Details live on /pricing.
For mobile money, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
What is the cheapest way to register sci.dot?
The most economical path for sci.dot is the standard $100 pre-order when sci.dot is not classified as premium by the registry. Premium names cannot be discounted below their assigned tier. Confirm whether the standard rate applies to sci.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for digital wallets?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
