Frequently asked questions about skyhq.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing loans.pay?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Can an agency submit the SMD on behalf of my brand for skyhq.dot?
An agency can run the NicNames registration flow for skyhq.dot if it has authority and access to your valid SMD for the skyhq.dot mark. The priority claim still rests on that SMD representing your validated rights. Make sure the agency uses the correct file for skyhq.dot. Begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.
As a brand-protection manager, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.
How does skyhq.dot support compliance and trust audits?
Demonstrating that NicNames owns the official skyhq.dot payment name helps satisfy auditors and partners who expect you to control your payment-facing domains. Owning skyhq.dot provides clear evidence of that control. https://domain.pay/
Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for in-app purchases?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
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.
