Frequently asked questions about usage.dot

Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration?

Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.

How can a QR code campaign use usage.dot?

Encode usage.dot into a QR code on posters, receipts, or packaging so a scan lands on a payment page with a name people can also type by hand. The .PAY ending reassures scanners that the destination is a pay step. Get the name at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a payroll platform pre-order a .PAY domain 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 do I upload my SMD file when registering usage.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for usage.dot, you upload your TMCH SMD file at the prompt so the registry can verify you own a mark matching usage.dot. The system validates it before submitting your usage.dot request. Begin the priority upload for usage.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As an event ticketing business, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

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.
