Frequently asked questions about taels.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for mobile money?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Does taels.dot cost extra during the trademark priority phase?

Trademark-priority registration for taels.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file and may follow registry sunrise pricing, which can differ from general availability. The $100 standard rate applies to ordinary labels; premium taels.dot names cost more. Review priority pricing for taels.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

During the .PAY launch, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.

How often does the status of taels.dot change?

There's no fixed schedule — Amazon Registry Services can reclassify taels.dot as policies evolve or as registrations and releases occur. A reserved label might open, or an available one might be claimed. Because registry status can change, re-check taels.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before acting.

As a checkout product manager, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
