Frequently asked questions about smc.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?

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.

Can registering smc.dot help with takedown requests elsewhere?

Owning the genuine smc.dot strengthens your position when requesting takedowns of impersonating sites, since you can point to the real smc.dot address controlled by NicNames. It supports, but does not replace, formal abuse and dispute channels. https://domain.pay/

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a retail brand?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Does a TMCH claim cost extra to secure smc.dot?

Obtaining a TMCH SMD for smc.dot is handled with the trademark clearinghouse, separate from domain.pay's registration of smc.dot; registry priority-phase pricing may also apply. We don't set TMCH fees. Start your smc.dot trademark-priority registration at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for fraud prevention?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: 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.
