Frequently asked questions about surfers.dot

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for payroll disbursements?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

How long does TMCH validation take before I can register surfers.dot?

TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim surfers.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on surfers.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for online checkout?

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.

What proof do I need for trademark-priority pricing on surfers.dot?

For trademark-priority handling of surfers.dot you must supply a valid TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file matching surfers.dot, issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse. Without it, you proceed under standard general-availability pricing for surfers.dot. Begin the priority flow at https://domain.pay/register.

When is the .PAY Sunrise period for fraud prevention?

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.

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.
