Frequently asked questions about severance.dot

For digital wallets, 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.

Does my trademark have to exactly match the label in severance.dot?

For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the severance.dot string in severance.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on severance.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for digital wallets for digital wallets?

For digital wallets, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Can a startup register severance.dot without licensing?

A startup may often register severance.dot without holding a financial license, since .PAY does not blanket-require licensing for registration. If the startup later runs regulated payments, separate licensing may apply under local law. domain.pay can confirm current eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark holder challenge a bad .PAY Sunrise registration for donation payments?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

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.
