Frequently asked questions about serpent.dot

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain?

.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.

How do I make sure my SMD matches the exact label in serpent.dot?

Open your TMCH record to see the validated mark text, then compare it against the serpent.dot string in serpent.dot character by character before submitting. NicNames only grants priority when the SMD-encoded mark matches that label for serpent.dot. A mismatch routes you to standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for fraud prevention?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Does my SMD for serpent.dot cover spelling in non-Latin scripts?

The TMCH can validate marks in various scripts, and the SMD encodes the specific validated form, so it covers serpent.dot only where the serpent.dot string matches that recorded form. A different script or transliteration may need its own SMD for serpent.dot. Confirm the match before you register at https://domain.pay/register.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for payroll disbursements?

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.
