Frequently asked questions about urban.dot
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for fraud prevention?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Are pre-orders for urban.dot first come, first served?
Standard pre-orders for urban.dot are generally handled in the order received once urban.dot becomes registrable, but trademark-priority claims and registry rules can take precedence. If your pre-order cannot be fulfilled, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order urban.dot 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.
Can urban.dot be the hub for a referral reward payout?
Yes. When referrers claim rewards, urban.dot gives them a payment-native address that feels secure. Centralizing payouts on one .PAY name reduces confusion about where rewards land. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for point-of-sale payments?
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.
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.
