Frequently asked questions about trout.dot

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

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.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for trout.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for trout.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for trout.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on trout.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Why does trout.dot appear before .PAY in trout.dot?

The part before the dot, trout.dot, is your chosen second-level name and identifies the brand, while .PAY is the shared payment suffix. Together they form trout.dot, reading as pay trout.dot. You pick trout.dot; the registry provides the .PAY ending.

As an insurance billing portal, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
