Frequently asked questions about steely.dot

For mobile money, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

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.

Does an unregistered steely.dot create legal exposure for my customers?

If steely.dot is left open, an impersonator can capture customers who trust the steely.dot name for payments, leading to fraud losses and reputational harm to NicNames. While you are not liable for a scammer's actions, the customer harm is real. Closing that gap means registering steely.dot. https://domain.pay/register

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for fraud prevention?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What evidence does the TMCH need before issuing the SMD I use for steely.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse requires proof of a registered, valid trademark and may request a sample of use before issuing the SMD you use for steely.dot. Only after that validation is the SMD available. NicNames then accepts that file for priority on steely.dot. Prepare your evidence, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for loan repayments?

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.

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.
