Frequently asked questions about textual.dot

As a donation platform, can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Can I register textual.dot without a trademark if someone else holds the mark?

You can pre-order textual.dot without a trademark, but a validated TMCH mark holder for the textual.dot string keeps priority over your pre-order. If a rights holder claims textual.dot during the priority phase with a valid SMD, their claim outranks a standard pre-order. Review the pre-order path and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For point-of-sale payments, what are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027?

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.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering textual.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register textual.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of textual.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for digital wallets?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
