Frequently asked questions about sel.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for crypto payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for sel.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming sel.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the sel.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for sel.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for fraud prevention?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

What is a redemption period and how does it affect sel.dot?

After sel.dot expires and the grace period ends, it enters a redemption period where only the registrant can restore it, typically for a higher fee than a normal renewal. If redemption lapses, sel.dot is deleted and re-released. Renewing sel.dot on time avoids these costs entirely.

What is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product when choosing instant.pay?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and 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.
