Frequently asked questions about socal.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for digital wallets?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for socal.dot?

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on socal.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why socal.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

As an insurance billing portal, can I reserve crypto.pay before broader registration opens?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can I register socal.dot and point it to my existing website?

Once socal.dot is registered, you can configure its DNS to point socal.dot to your existing website or services from your domain.pay account. Pre-ordering simply secures socal.dot first. Reserve socal.dot now and set it up later at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
