Frequently asked questions about switcha.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

Why do I need a TMCH SMD file to claim switcha.dot?

A TMCH SMD file is the Trademark Clearinghouse's signed proof that you own a mark matching switcha.dot, and the registry requires it to grant trademark-priority on switcha.dot. Without it, you can still use a standard pre-order for switcha.dot. Start either path at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?

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.

Can I delegate management of switcha.dot while keeping ownership?

Yes. NicNames can delegate operational management of switcha.dot to a team or partner while retaining registrant ownership, which keeps control of the switcha.dot name internal. Clear ownership records reduce disputes later. Manage settings at https://domain.pay/.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for fraud prevention?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
