Frequently asked questions about sidecar.dot
As a brand-protection manager, 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.
How do I start a trademark-priority claim for sidecar.dot?
To claim sidecar.dot via trademark priority, register sidecar.dot with the TMCH, obtain your SMD file, and submit it through domain.pay during the registry's priority window. We support this path for sidecar.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for BNPL checkout?
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.
What should I prepare before applying for sidecar.dot?
Before applying for sidecar.dot, prepare accurate registrant contact details, a clear description of your payment-related use, and, if you hold a registered mark, your TMCH SMD file for trademark priority. domain.pay walks you through the checklist; start at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for fraud prevention?
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.
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.
