Frequently asked questions about usg.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for mobile money?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Can I use a foreign trademark to claim usg.dot via TMCH?

The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts marks from many jurisdictions worldwide, so a qualifying foreign trademark can be recorded and produce an SMD for claiming usg.dot. The mark must be validated by the TMCH and match the usg.dot string. NicNames then honours that SMD for priority on usg.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Can I claim usg.dot for a brand spelled with numbers?

If your validated mark for the usg.dot string includes numbers and the SMD encodes that exact form, it can support a priority claim on usg.dot where the label matches. The TMCH matching rules govern whether usg.dot qualifies. Confirm the encoded form matches, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for secure payment links?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
