Frequently asked questions about tattoo.dot

Before choosing tap.pay, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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 information is encoded inside the SMD I use for tattoo.dot?

The SMD you use for tattoo.dot encodes your validated mark text matching the tattoo.dot string, associated dates, and a cryptographic signature from the TMCH. NicNames reads this to confirm your priority eligibility for tattoo.dot. You never edit the file; you simply submit it. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for fraud prevention?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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

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

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?

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.

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.
