Frequently asked questions about trusts.dot

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

How does trademark priority work for trusts.dot?

If you own a registered trademark matching trusts.dot, your TMCH SMD file can give you trademark-priority access to trusts.dot during the early registration window. This helps brand owners claim trusts.dot before the general public. domain.pay handles SMD submission; learn more at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a new domain option for mobile wallet teams for fraud prevention?

.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on trusts.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on trusts.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated trusts.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for rent collection?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
