Frequently asked questions about uses.dot
What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
Why might uses.dot be blocked for protective reasons?
Registries sometimes block labels matching well-known names or sensitive terms; if Amazon Registry Services has done so for uses.dot, uses.dot stays unregisterable. Blocks can be revisited under policy. Since registry status can change, re-check uses.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
For crypto payments, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
Does uses.dot require an active website?
uses.dot does not require a live website to register, though the .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related, good-faith use. You can secure uses.dot now and build later. domain.pay can register and park it for you; begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken when choosing trust.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
